The Biter Bit

Paul Krugman writes about he need for Hope, Change (of tone) and Reconciliation within the Democratic Party.  Since he is a long-time Hillary supporter this is especially poignant:

Nor should Obama supporters dismiss Mrs. Clinton’s strength as a purely Appalachian phenomenon, with the implication that Clinton voters are just a bunch of hicks.

Oh, I'll say it - Paul Krugman is not a redneck Appalachian hick.  But he must be the loneliest guy at Princeton, and it must be tough seeing that plum appointment in Clinton II slipping away.

At this point I can't think of a single thing Obama could do to get me to vote for him. I will write in Hillary no matter how hard she campaigns for him.Making fun of Krugman dosen't help either.

You're wrong, making fun of Krugman always helps. It's win-win for America.

Kim, I've got my first State high school Semi-final baseball series (I'm an umpire) today. I'm even the crew chief. Bedause I'm the biggest ahole, or most experienced (I forget which). My nephew the (Current) family war hero (We've had a few)is about to have his first daughter born. Nobody told me anything per usual. Today is a glorious day.

Nor should Obama supporters dismiss Mrs. Clinton’s strength as a purely Appalachian phenomenon, with the implication that Clinton voters are just a bunch of hicks. They should save it for the McCain voters.

...many grass-roots Clinton supporters feel that she has received unfair, even grotesque treatment.

This is why Krugman will never be considered a great economist. Unfair, grotesque treatment is SOP in politics. Expecting anything else is childish.

Thank God for small favors!
