Obama and John Lindsay

Paul Rahe has a piece up at Ricochet.com likening President Obama to a liberal mayor of New York, John Lindsay: "In effect, what Obama and his advisors plan to do is to abandon once and for all the old New Deal coalition and forge a new governing coalition resembling the one that John Lindsay put together in the city of New York – i.e., a coalition of upscale voters and minorities with some support from young people of the sort who were carried away by Lindsay's glamor."
