People think. What a concept!

The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan makes the case for not treating voters like idiots.  

"It is a secret of politics, a deep inside secret known to so few that even the most experienced operatives are unaware of it, that people are thinking creatures. They're not "the masses," waiting to be manipulated. They think, they calculate. This is true now more than ever."

She's talking about her fellow yanks, of course, but it's a pretty sensible view that our own  politicians might want to consider adopting.
