1. He's embarrassed about Palin, but no mention of the moron McCain who couldn't beat a rank marxist for the presidency?
2. He's embarrassed about Tancredo, yet it was Tancredo who was one of a handful of house members to oppose the vast majority of Bush's agenda, which he the good professor apparently loathed?
3. He's embarrassed about IBD editors "wildly exaggerated" take on Obama's record? I challenge the professor to name one thing the moron in chief has done remotely well, or remotely pleasing to ANY conservative sensibilities.
4,5. He decries the big government Republicanism of the GOP's last decade in power, yet the tea parties, which he also loathes, and Sarah Palin whom he also loathes, and Tancredo whom he also loathes, and Rand Paul whom he also loathes, are pushing a return to fiscal sanity and the de-scoping of grotesquely bloated federal gov't. This idiot makes no sense.
And Charlie Crist??
I give up. This man is a mental midget, perhaps in the David Brooks/David Frum category.
“Professor” Bainbridge?
Are they giving away college degrees in cereal boxes now?
“This man is a mental midget”
This dumb cluck thinks he speaks for conservatives?
Sounds more like a leftist pretending to be a conservative so that his attacks on the “conservative” side have more validity.
CINO.
Peggy Noonan’s alter-ego?
Moron!
this type of pseudo intellectual bleeding heart liberal socialist asshole’s commentary belongs on the Underground Democrat! Underground, where they freaking belong!
I see he has nothing bad to say about Jerry Ford, Or McCain, or Bob Dole.
Must be nice to get paid by the word.
5. Thanks to the Tea Party, the Nevada GOP has probably pissed away a historic chance to out=st Harry Reid. See also Charlie Crist in Florida, Rand Paul in Kentucky, and so on. Whatever happened to not letting perfection be the enemy of the good?
So this guy must be an olympia Snowe type conservative.
ANYONE embarrassed by Palin is a BHOTool.
Whats a lawyer doing in the Conservative movement?
He needs to join the Lawyer party.
Perhaps a faux conservative there, a troll maybe?
He is an elitist in the mold of Alexander Hamilton. Buckley I assure you would not be in agreement with him. The guy is an obvious idiot. These guys are never there to critique the left based on silly criteria. I would not be surprised to find he voted for Obama.
Here is a good article.

Professor Bainbridge must be getting lambasted by his academic libtard brethren during lunches.... =.=
I’m torn.
Is this the alter-ego of John “Si Si Senor” McCain or Lindsey “Kagan is My It-Girl” Graham?
Please, please, please Libtards...keep thinking that.
Apparently anyone who does not attend an Ivy League school is poorly educated.
"...an minor state". I guess his own education didn't prepare him to write "an sentence" properly.
“…embarrassing to publicly identify oneself as a conservative…”
Uhm, this is your typical pop-culture psychosis laden narcissist, needing to feel important…as all weak-kneed leftists are prone to be when simply challenged to do better.
I believe this guy probably spent last night in bed with David Brooks.
Anyone bothering to pay attention to the campaign in 2008 will remember that 0bama claimed the war in Afghanistan as his own. According to then candidate 0bama, we needed to get out of Iraq and take the war to Bin Laden in Afghanistan and/or Pakistan. 0bama didn't start the war, but he wanted it to belong to him while he was campaigning.
You want it, you got it.
