In the American Conservative today, Bartlett has a piece called "Revenge of the Reality-Based Community: My life on the Republican right -- and how I saw it all go wrong."
It's a good read. Here are just two quotes that could have come directly from me:
For the record, no one has been more correct in his analysis and prescriptions for the economy’s problems than Paul Krugman.
And:
The final line for me to cross in complete alienation from the right was my recognition that Obama is not a leftist. In fact, he’s barely a liberal—and only because the political spectrum has moved so far to the right that moderate Republicans from the past are now considered hardcore leftists by right-wing standards today. Viewed in historical context, I see Obama as actually being on the center-right.
