The intellectual class of conservative thinkers is bailing out
on McPalin and for that I have to give them their due. David
Brooks is gone, Kathleen Parker, Christopher Buckley and now
Christopher Hitchens. I sure would enjoy the mea culpas of
Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer but I suppose that would
be more schadenfraude than I could safely handle. LOL !!



I'm 95% sure you could add richard to that list. The real question is
whether he'll vote for Barr or Obama.


If you are referring to me, you most certainly cannot add me to any list
that maintains that Obama is the best choice of the lot for Prez...OTOH,
you won't find me on the list that maintains McCain, Barr or Nader is,
either. I'm truly undecided - I don't see any clear choice in the
bunch. If it had, by some miracle, been McCain/Obama or McCain and
Biden, either order, the choice would be clear, but it wasn't and so,
for me, it isn't. I will say that I don't completely trust Obama's
motives, but McCain appears to have gone completely "pol." As much as
it pains me to say, I can truly understand those who say they cannot
bring themselves to vote for Prez.

And there you are,
