Once again Paul Krugman speaks for me!

Paul Krugman's column today is exactly what I was talking about in the post below.  I think Obama will win.  And I think he'll change things.  The question is how much.  I also think that however much he does change things, compared to Bush, this country will look a thousand times better than it does today.

The Reagan-Clinton comparison suggests that a candidate who runs on a clear agenda is more likely to achieve fundamental change than a candidate who runs on the promise of change but isn't too clear about what that change would involve.

Of course, there's always the possibility that Mr. Obama really is a centrist, after all.

One thing is clear: for Democrats, winning this election should be the easy part. Everything is going their way: sky-high gas prices, a weak economy and a deeply unpopular president. The real question is whether they will take advantage of this once-in-a-generation chance to change the country's direction. And that's mainly up to Mr. Obama.
