Of course Willie Brown has a point of view

People either love him or hate him. One of the best strategists willing to go on the record shares his thoughts.

This weeks money quote:

"We're a funny nation - we have health programs for the poor (Medicaid), the elderly (Medicare), and of course for people with high-paying jobs - leaving out all those people in the middle who either have nothing or have to pay high amounts through employee contributions.
It's an issue. But for voters, it's not the main issue now. The main issue in this nation is whether or not you have a job.
After spending nearly a year on health care reform, it's awfully tough for President Obama and the rest of the Democrats to accept that the moment is lost, and that they need to shift focus to getting America back to work.
But it's a matter of simple political math. No jobs = no votes in 2010"
