A front-page piece in Friday's LAT written by Mark Barabak and Janet Hook argues that while GOP lawmakers in Washington have lots of ideas about how to stimulate the economy, they lack a leader and have not settled on a consensus plan. Besides, they are guilty of a dismal showing in last November's election and the GOP image in is tatters.
That GOP lawmakers have lots of ideas does not seem a bad thing. That they lack leaders doesn't seem that bad either. The Democrats are saddled with leaders like Pelosi and Reid, which suggests they have a bigger problem than the GOP has. Being the minority party, the GOP cannot govern. Consensus is important to the governing party, not so much to the minority party.
Query: Why did such a piece appear on the front page when it belongs on the op-ed pages because it primarily presents the opinions of the authors.
