"[A]s indefensible as I think a conservative endorsement of
Barack Obama is, let's not forget that the alternative is John
McCain."
That's probably the best I've heard it put. Hunter, it's not
quite the fault of National Review that
Christopher feels less inclined to support the party on this one.
I wonder if father Bill felt a similar disinclination toward
Republicanism in the 1950s, though.
I just wish there was more to Christopher's argument that this is
what the historical moment seems to be calling for. As it
happens, Obama's campaign has been centered on the historical
moment and making us feel it. He's been bludgeoning all of us
with that very notion. We are, after all, the ones we've been
waiting for. I'm just surprised that it's swept so many.
