Republican Existential Crisis
Krugman on the left and I as a Libertarian see the crisis clearly. The G.O.P. decries the growth of government spending yet while in charge grow and spend much more than the previous Democrat administration. For example, Bill Clinton was a sane and sober steward of the economy while "W" on the other hand went on an insane frat house drunken binge. I don't think the electorate has forgiven the Republican performance of 2001 through 2009 sufficiently to trust them this last election with another presidential term. If they keep up their authoritarian anti gay, immigrant and drug decriminalization dependency, then they are destined to back very big and instrusive government policies that put a lie to their small government punditry.
