Interesting bit from FNS this morning:
CHRIS WALLACE: I want to put something that liberal economist Paul Krugman wrote in the NYT this week. Let's put it up. [Krugman chyron reads "This year's presidential election was a clear referendum on political philsophies, and the progressive philosophy won."] Do you agree?
JOHN PODESTA (transition co-chair): Yes, I do. The program that the Obama-Biden ticket put forth in the campaign focused on opportunity for everyone, focused on the common good, and I think that's in the progressive tradition in this country. It was alive and well in both parties. It sort of got extinguished in the Republican Party over the course of the last couple of decades, but I think that progressive vision of providing opportunity for people who work hard, for proviing for the common good, helping people succeed in their lives I think was what he layed beofre the American people, it was in that great tradition of progressive politics in this country, and it's a tradition of reform, and I think he'll deliver on those elements.
Wallace didn't follow up.
