A lot of politics are done behind closed doors. A big reason for it is to avoid making blurbs for an opponents campaign ads. You ever wonder why politicians almost NEVER say that they are wrong? Because, if they do, next election cycle the statement will be repeated ad nauseum by any opponent.
Unfortunately, what that leaves is for the real frank business of politics to be forced behind closed doors.
The Republicans got demolished during the last elections. They have to do some self-examining ... and doing so for a future Barney Frank campaign ad would be silly.
Question for you, Enigma: did you post a similar thread when the DNC met behind closed doors last May?
