Yet I worry that the Romneyites are fooling themselves. Technocrats and fixers from a state where liberals dominate, they are neither inclined or prepared to show how the Obama Democrats are slowly redefining American exceptionalism into the European social democratic dream. Romney may squeak by on bad unemployment numbers and gentle coaxing of undecideds, but patriotic veneer the Democrats have managed to slap on their leftism is worrisome. If Obama wins, it will be because we allowed him to get away with it.
I think the public is vastly confused and don't really know which end is up. This isn't calling the public stupid, but, rather ignorant, and it is a type of enforced ignorance of the ruling class. The ruling class includes the Republicans, by the way. That's the point of the article. Republicans are just going through the motions of being an opposition party. Just like Krugman says they should be.
