I mulled over that style of doing it -- but decided against using too much italic font. It may express emphasis well in voice, but in text it's easier to overdo. It was one pronoun or the other, but both becomes just that bit much. I picked one; the other would have worked too.

Hey, politicos budgeting money will react swiftly and strongly to a very public disaster. It's particularly obvious in a nice transparent democracy.
