YEATS ALERT!

Paul Krugman in today's New York Times:

The point is that Mr. Obama’s attempts to avoid confrontation have been counterproductive. His opponents remain filled with a passionate intensity, while his supporters, having received no respect, lack all conviction. And in a midterm election, where turnout is crucial, the “enthusiasm gap” between Republicans and Democrats could spell catastrophe for the Obama agenda.

Surely he could have conveyed this Deep Thought without going the S.C. route. Love the Nobel Prize, Paul, but find another poem to quote.
