I'M NOT SURE ABOUT KEVIN

Kevin Drum of the Washington Monthly is usually very solid on policy issues (here's a great example) so I'm a bit surprised that he's jumped the shark about Paul Krugman. Kevin thinks Krugman has gone "over a cliff" and has engaged in a "months-long anti-Obama jihad" on universal health care. To my understanding, Krugman's criticisms of Obama's plan are justifed so I can't understand why Kevin is so upset. I don't have a problem with Kevin deciding to vote for Obama because I can understand why one would do so, thus my surprise isn't partisan.
