Bobos In Euro-Paradise

Bill Schneider of CNN writes:

Spend a few days in western Europe talking about American politics and you discover that you are in deepest Obamaland. Not much different from Berkeley, California, or the South Side of Chicago.

Orrin Judd replies, in a post titled, “This Reads Like A GOP Press Release”:

So Obamaland is Europe, Berzerkly and the South Side and Democrats can’t figure out why they lose elections?

Indeed.^TM The euro-feel of Obamaland and its putative leader’s campaign proposals isn’t exactly a big surprise for anyone who’s been paying the slightest bit of attention to the growing distance that voters in the Bluer alcoves of the American political map have been putting between themselves and their compatriots in the Red States post 9/11.
