Ed Herman nails the problem with "institutional" candidates

Herman sums it up:
The problem with Strickland - and with institutional Democrats AND Republicans - is that he does not recognize that much of the way Ohio spends money is through obsolete means. Since Truman's Fair Deal and Johnson's Great Society, the institutional response to puzzlingly poor social improvement has been to throw more money at problems WITHOUT attempting to rethink the dynamics of the programs. Powerful special interests have arisen around defending the status quo. Groupthink, hysteria and social guilt impede rethinking the way we provide for our citizens.
