Paul Krugman, arguing for the umpteenth time why Obama’s not a good idea, writes:
Now, nobody would mistake Mr. Obama for a Republican — although contrary to claims by both supporters and opponents, his voting record places him, with Senator Clinton, more or less in the center of the Democratic Party, rather than in its progressive wing.
But Mr. Obama, instead of emphasizing the harm done by the other party’s rule, likes to blame both sides for our sorry political state. And in his speeches he promises not a rejection of Republicanism but an era of postpartisan unity.
No! Say it isn’t so! Anything but that!
Sigh… This grows ever-so-slightly tiresome.
Why is it so hard for partisans to understand that much of the American electorate is tired of the scorched-earth blame-gaming?
