    I respect his previous work, but Krugman today is nothing more than a partisan hack.

    Congrats, Prof. Krugman! If the below commenters would actually read some Krugman columns you would see that he doesn't support certain candidates based on their party affiliations, but based on their policy records and proposals. That's not being a partisan hack. That's having opinions and principles and the courage to tell it like it is.

    Stop haters

    Partisan or not, none of his detractors have legitimate economic arguments to rebut Krugman. That is because you haters are nothing, you are a mouse and he is a gorilla so respect. And in those "partisan" columns, we now see that many of Krugman's predictions or warnings have come to past, but oh wait that is against Bush so it can't be "true" it has to be "partisan." But like Colbert says, the truth does seem to have a partisan Liberal bias

    His work has undoubtedly been very important to the field of economics over the past decades--his ideas on trade and economies of scale are clever and profound, yet simple and elegant. Even if I disagree with many of his political statements.

    Sigh

    How typical that the Nobel Prize is once more awarded, post hoc, to an aging academic whose best work is behind him, and whose brain has long since turned to mush.
