Earlier today, in the context of the election in NY-26 and Medicare, I argued that lawmakers who voted for the House GOP budget need to redouble their efforts to defend their votes and Medicare reform—and in doing so they need to marshal the strongest possible arguments to make their case. This five-minute video is a very good start:

Reform-minded Republicans are in the political fight for their lives; they need to replicate this kind of effort (as well as many more) over and over and over again. If they do, they have a very good chance to fundamentally recast the entitlement debate and emerge victorious. If not, they’ll have their heads handed to them.
