Strong words from Paul Krugman today, as he discusses Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s rhetoric in the campaign toward various policies here.

[b]oth Democratic candidates have been saying things they shouldn’t; Hillary Clinton shouldn’t have endorsed the bad idea of a gas tax holiday. But I think Mr. Obama is doing much more harm to the Democratic cause by echoing Republican attack lines on such issues as insurance mandates and Social Security. And now he’s demonstrating his post-partisanship by giving Republicans credit for good ideas they never had.

That is just the conclusion of the article, and while I have “spoiled” the ending I do recommend you give it a good read.
