Reply #91: In a way, it could be called that, I agree. The "triangle" is just shaped differently.

Ms. Prophet and I have discussed this very thing - two stlyes of triangulation. I have some notes on it, but am so pre-coffeee dullheaded right now, I can't even summarize it.

With the "points" being the public opinion (bully pulpit) Congress (intra-party) and (inter-party) - each would work with their different skill sets to move those to the shape they best can. While Obama might be able to better "stir the nation" in the pulpit, Clinton might be better at behind the scenes deals to get the votes.


I will always admit when i don't know something, and I really don't know how it would work out here.
The future only gives us one pass - often here we have discussed the parallel worlds of a Gore win in 2000, etc. - we live in a world of many options, but only one true timeline of reality. ;)
so I think you are right, and as time unfolds, we'll see it one or the other, or...that 3rd option.
