From the Washington Post - By writer E. J. Dionne :
"Obama will be the conservative in 2012, in the truest sense of that word. He is the candidate defending the modestly redistributive and regulatory government the country has relied on since the New Deal, and that neither Ronald Reagan nor George W. Bush dismantled"
"The rhetoric of the 2012 Republicans suggests they want to go far beyond where Reagan or Bush ever went. And here's the irony: By raising the stakes of 2012 so high, Republicans will be playing into Obama's hands. The GOP might well win a referendum on the state of the economy. But if this is instead a larger-scale referendum on whether government should be "inconsequential," Republicans will find the consequences to be very disappointing".
