| i think that the numbers of moderate republicans who will endorse obama will keep growing over the coming days.  in the end, it was probably a bad idea for the mc-cain campaign to pitch hard right in this context.  think more of colin powell and charles fried.  even christopher buckley.
 but mc-clellan is perhaps not the belleweather to use.  otto's right about the conservative view of him, and of his view of contemporary conservatism (by extension)
