it's curious that during the campaign, any sense of the diversity of the republican party has been buried under the campaign's attempts to sell itself as an expression of some unity and so to sell the unity it expresses. i've been curious about the effects of mc-cain-palin on moderate republicans more generally. powell's endorsement of obama seems a reflection of the situation the centrists must, i expect, find themselves in.

have other republican moderates endorsed obama?

added a bit later, while watching the red sox...

here's a ny times piece about the fracturing of the conservative talking head class around mc-cain/palin. it's germaine and kinda interesting.
