both play a vital part in passing legislation. Neither may get all that they want, but the ebb and flow of ideas and more importantly gaining support for those ideas is not monolithic. Every hand has five fingers. Those fingers have different lengths, different purposes, but you need all five for the hand to function at it's best. Nancy's knowledge is an asset that is immeasurable, but so is the voice, and energy of those with the ability to reach people where they are.
