You are right David, so if anything good can possibly come from this it will require some serious judo... take her energy and thrust against us and turn it back. The Reason Foundation and the "subsidy" issue ... there has to be some openings there. Does our resident expert on the subject, Doug Koplow, have anything to add?

Only on subsidies are we likely to find common ground.

I say this could be an opportunity, but who can dig up her old speeches? She also came out in favor of PAYT, I think. Other than that, I think her policy solutions are probably a disaster.
