Would that be the same Buckley who ran a third party campaign for NYC Mayor against a RINO?

He’s your model for supporting Romney??

It is my understanding that New York City has four major parties: the Democratic Party; the Republican Party; the Liberal Party; and the Conservative Party.

In 1965, Buckley ran as the standard-bearer of the Conservative Party, in opposition to the (very liberal--not moderate) John Lindsay.

He’s your model for supporting Romney??

Yes, I believe that the late Mr. Buckley serves as an exemplary model.

He was, in my opinion, the very apotheosis of modern conservatism...
