KRUGMAN GETS ALL CHOKED UP Paul Krugman's election day op-ed is a Norman Rockwell column celebrating the dignity and nobility of the common man who will stand in the rain in order to vote for the candidate of Krugman's choice.



I always get a little choked up when I go to the local school to cast my vote. The humbleness of the surroundings only emphasizes the majesty of the process: this is democracy, America's great gift to the world, in action.

But over the last few days I've been seeing pictures from Florida that are even more majestic. They show long lines of voters, snaking through buildings and on down the sidewalk: citizens patiently waiting to do their civic duty. Those people still believe in American democracy; and because they do, so do I.

Kinda gets you right here, don't it? Well, this is one column Krugman is going to have eat -- word by word. I just can't wait for Friday's column -- a snarling rebuke to the timidity and cowardice of the American voter to have re-elected George Bush.
