A Gift to the Right from a Weak-Willed Left?

Paul Krugman of the New York Times definitely gets it, but will the Democratic "leadership"? The time for constructive left and centre-left partisanship, as opposed to the continued appeasement of GOP-style rabid conservatism, is now. Time will tell whether 2008 will be a turning point or just another failed opportunity to stop the United States' descent into full-on fascism in the 21st century.
