Fact:  As anyone who has watched political advertising over the years knows, finding an "expert" who will agree with you on just about any position on any subject isn't all that difficult.  So, the real challenge is determining who is in fact an expert, and who's just some goofball looking for publicity for his latest book.  

When it comes to consolidation, it's easy to spot a real expert.  Real experts have real experience.  They'll come from both sides of the political spectrum.  They'll have been "in the game," not locked away in some obscure researcher's office.  Most of all, they'll be people you've heard of!  People you know and recognize.

So before you go believing somebody's "experts," better take a look at their qualifications.
