Paul Krugman's recent, widely quoted editorial in Monday's New York Times opens with this: "It's feeling a lot like 1992 right now. It's also feelin...

McCain and the bully boys on the right employ a strategy to paint Obama as weak on Iran and an enemy of the Jewish community. They use "guilt by association" to scare Jewish voters.

Those of us who want real change must hold with one hand to the absolute necessity of an Obama victory and with the other to the possibility that pragmatic cynicism may be precisely not the road to achieve victory.
