Paul, posting on Powerline has an interesting observation.
If our curent economic woes continue for, say, two years or if the economy crashes to new depths, a populist backlash is almost inevitable.

Michael Lind senses the danger, and captures it well in this possible epitaph for the Dems: "First they came for the bankers; then they came for the CEOs; then they came for the liberals." * * *
Throw in a depression or prolonged recession on their watch, and there will be hell for the Democrats to pay.
Lind urges the Democrats to "stop the suicide." But the Dems can't be expected to stop being Dems, particularly in the midst of the "we won" euphoria.
