But while it's O.K. to think things over, those who abhor the direction Mr. Bush is taking the country must maintain their intensity; they must not succumb to defeatism.

Its stuff like this that shows me that liberals learned nothing on Tuesday. Its almost amazing how much hateful screed has come out of the NY Slimes since the election, a paper that is supposedly the leading in the country.

blue states, on average, have lower rates of out-of-wedlock births than red states.

Krugman's an economist, and I believe he holds a PhD - so we know he must be able to handle numeric information. When bandying such a fact - do you think that Mr. Krugman is conscious of the difference in the rate between Black out of wedlock births and White out of wedlock births? Hmmm. That and the population distribution of Blacks in "Red states" might just explain that support for Bush is a reaction to having seen such problems - not a function of having caused them.
