"The marketplace of ideas" we hear this all the time from Republicans but do not listen. We have too few affiliated stalls in the bazaar, no fancy neon signs, our product isn't fresh, and our salesmen seem a little stiff. The Right, through AEI, CATO, and the Heritage Foundation, produce flashy, modern, interesting sounding products, pushed by a folksy salesman. It's not a failure of our ideas or values or institutions, it's a failure to approach it from a marketing perspective. Its a failure to move our product in the marketplace.
