Virginia Postrel comments on defections

The dynamist herself comments on Jacob Levy and Andrew Sullivan and others who consider Kerry because Bush has ushered in a giant new medical entitlement, flirted with tariffs, and smiles at ag subsidies.

She observes that if dissatisfaction with the Bush economic policy bothers some on the right, Kerry is not the answer. Indeed her post is called the "Kerry Delusion." Postrel suggests that the flirtation with Kerry is fasionable.

Levy objects.
