So, here's my worry: Democrats, with the encouragement of people in the news media who seek bipartisanship for its own sake, may fall into the trap of trying to be anti-Bushes-of trying to transcend partisanship, seeking some middle ground between the parties.
I love Paul Krugman, always have, but I think that this is giving his profession too much of the benfit of the doubt.

They are corporate shills trying to maintain the middle until they can lurch us further toward facsism in a few years..
