One of the best aspects of the blogosphere is that sometimes a particularly interesting or controversial post will stimulate a discussion among other bloggers on the same topic.
That occurred yesterday with Ezra Klein's excellent piece about how bizarre it is that Republicans oppose Obama so vehemently when his policies are are very much in line with what a moderate Republican in the 1990s would have proposed.
Klein of Joe comments in basic agreement with Klein of Ezra and adds his own media spin on the story.
Kevin Drum is not so sure. He believes that it is tactics that have changed, rather than substantive Republican positions.
Ramesh Ponnuru ridicules Ezra Klein's argument with examples of policies that George W. Bush pursued that had a Democratic pedigree.
Ezra responds to Ramesh and Kevin here and here.
