Paul Krugman's been a Clinton hack from the beginning
This is like me writing "Jonathan Alter wants to know why Hillary Clinton is losing."
Krugman's mad because he got shot down by a bunch of intelligent Obama supporters about 3 months back where he was proven to be wrong and (much like a certain editor here with regards to her bias towards Hillary Clinton) was unable to bring himself to admit it.
Here's a comment from a writer on Ben Smith's blog that pretty aptly sums it up:
"Krugman needs to get over himself. He has been shot down by the NEWS section of the Times, the Washington Post and the Concord Monitor. Quite simply, he is WRONG on mandates. In any event, could someone ask a REAL health care economist what they think--I suggest starting with Krugman's Princeton colleague, Uwe Reinhardt."

You can read about the whole Krugman-Obama back and forth there, but suffice it to say they have a history, Krugman's on record as saying he strongly dislikes Obama personally, would never vote for him, can think of nothing positive he (Krugman) would have to say about Obama and hates all of his economic proposals. We're not exactly talking about an impartial source here.
