Krugman says, ?a vote for a Republican, no matter what you think of him as a person, is a vote for paralysis?:

By Todd Zywicki

ADVERTISEMENTS

Paul Krugman writes:

The truth is that given the state of American politics, the way the Senate works is no longer consistent with a functioning government. Senators themselves should recognize this fact and push through changes in those rules, including eliminating or at least limiting the filibuster. This is something they could and should do, by majority vote, on the first day of the next Senate session.

Don?t hold your breath. As it is, Democrats don?t even seem able to score political points by highlighting their opponents? obstructionism.

It should be a simple message (and it should have been the central message in Massachusetts): a vote for a Republican, no matter what you think of him as a person, is a vote for paralysis.

Actually, I think that this was the central Republican message in Massachusetts.
