...surprised that you included an article by Newt Gingrich in your cover package [March 1]. Isn't the idea of Gingrich giving advice on bipartisan cooperation akin to asking the fox for advice on how to guard the henhouse? He is the king of noncooperation and partisanship.

Again, this is not a likely scenario; the health care experience suggests that even preposterous attacks on complex legislation can provide cover for opponents, and Republicans are already starting to portray tougher financial rules as a new Wall Street bailout.
