Democrats don’t understand the attention economy aspect of politics in the slightest. Who is going to pay attention to a vote and blame Republicans in the way they’ve been paying attention to the shutdown and blaming Republicans?
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

I have an essay in @theglobeandmail.com this weekend.
It's about how I and a group of parents fought to have street outside our children's elementary school closed to cars.
This year, we succeeded!
Now we're going to have to fight to keep it in place.
