VERY interesting reading from former publisher of National Review.
THE MORE I LISTEN TO AND READ ABOUT “the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate,” the more I like him. Barack Obama strikes a chord with me like no political figure since Ronald Reagan. To explain why, I need to explain why I am a conservative and what it means to me.

1. Wow. That is a ringing endorsement
and published where a lot of real conservatives will read it.

3. That's some pretty clear-eyed analysis
about what conservatism really meant before it was hijacked, and why Obama is the better choice.

5. 25-30 years of shit and he finally gets it. At least he gets it now.

Probably mired in the mystical magic of thesauri.

7. I like this line

It gives me comfort just to think that after eight years of George W. Bush we will have a president who has actually read the Federalist Papers.
