Should Bev Perdue Resist the Tempatation of Listening to the Electorate On the NC Budget?

On the Perdue budget:

Chris Fitzsimon, director of N.C. Policy Watch, in Perdue Must Resist Temptation to Shift to the Right argued that:

If Perdue proposes a budget that does not include a revenue increase, it reframes the debate and hands the Republicans a powerful rhetorical tool to pursue their agenda of shrinking government and slashing budgets of education and human services.

Would the Fitzsimon argue that what has become the often referenced "Clinton economic success" was in reality simply a shift to the right as a result of his advisers convincing him to listen to the electorate that had just installed the Gingrich 1994 congress -- in short, would Fitzsimon argue today that the Cinton response to the 1994 election was simply an unfortunate reframing of the debate?

Unlikely.
