Paul Krugman: The New Republicans: Weighed Down By Plutocrats and Preachers

There has been a lot of talk since the presidential election about the possible emergence of a new faction within the Republican Party, or at least among the conservative intelligentsia. These new Republicans, we're told, are willing to be more open-minded on cultural issues, more understanding of immigrants, and more skeptical that trickle-down economics is enough; they'll favor direct measures to help working families.

So what should we call these new Republicans? I have a suggestion: why not call them "Democrats"?
