Since our visible political leaders like to drive change within the duration of their mandate, such an approach would not be something that they would ultimately be able to take credit for. Such silent revolutions are rarely even mentioned in history books so I can't imagine the appetite for such an approach.

Couldn't even watch the replay because it made me cringe. Between struggling to breathe and fighting the whole crud thing, it's a wonder I could even think. :) I'm most worried about progressives right now. They've hung their hat on the public option as the be-all and end-all, when there really are other ways to accomplish the same goal. I think Kucinich has hit on the right strategy.
