In a Freudian slip of sorts, New York Times editorial columnist Paul Krugman says:
"But Mr. Edwards, far more than is usual in modern politics, ran a campaign based on ideas. And even as his personal quest for the White House faltered, his ideas triumphed: both candidates left standing are, to a large extent, running on the platform Mr. Edwards built."
Of course, there really are more than two other candidates standing. The remaining four serious contenders happen to be Republicans, but are of no serious consideration other than a glimpse into how The Other Side thinks and operates. Possibly a simple inattention to detail on Mr. Krugman's part, but an interesting commentary of the universe as seen by the Times nevertheless.

What??? Liberal bias in the media. I don't believe such a thing exists-at least the unbiased, apolitical folks at my local NPR station mock such an idea.
