According to Krugman, anyone who believes that the 2000 election was stolen is either stupid or a liar. There is no middle ground.
The people that believe the 2000 election was stolen are indeed either stupid or liars. Either the election was stolen or it wasn't! There is no middle ground. The case went up all the way to the Supreme Court and a decision was made that what Gore wanted was unconstitutional. We're a nation of laws and if you can't win in court, well, you lose.

If you want to know what I personally think, it's that with a state that has now elected both Jesse Ventura and Al Franken to high public office within the last twelve years...voting fraud would be of the last things I'd write an editorial about regarding Minnesota.
I think WSJ journal itself did a pretty good job putting a hole in its argument. Krugman did pen an article in which he disputes another WSJ claim and linked to it in the post...I'm not sure if it's worth his time to dispute every thing WSJ writes.
