Typical CNN reporting, planting the mental seeds of what the reader is supposed to think without letting them form their own opinion.
This Frum mindset is spreading throughout the Republican voting bloc. People are so fearful of a 2nd Obama Term that they would sacrifice their first born, let alone conservative principles, in hopes of defeating him in 2012. They are twisting themselves into a pretzle and will be walking on egg shells throughout the campaign, and the general election will be Obama vs. Unoffensive, Unprincipled, Undefined, Frightened Robot. I wonder who will win?
