Paul Krugman's New York Times column today is about the end of the K Street-Republican Machine. At the end he gives strong warning that a Democrat in the White House does not necessarily mean the end of lobbyist’s power in our nation's capitol. It does not take much effort to see which candidate is most likely to perpetuate lobbyists influence on our government.
Read the column, no longer behind the wall. Krugman’s last two paragraphs might help you begin to understand why someone like me, who has been coming to Daily Kos for over four years because I saw it as a progressive Democratic site, is amazed that there are people here on Kos who support the current front-runner for the Democratic nomination for President.
