Kristol was co-opted by McCain. More than a few have fallen for McC's whispers. He has a cabal in the senate who are now out of power. Wonder how he feels about losing his chairmanship. As if the dems will ever return the favors he did for them.
There is a huge conservative vacuum waiting to be filled.
Mc-Lame wants to fool enough conservatives to get the '08 nomination, but some new, unanticipated face is going to step forward and carry the conservative mantle.
I firmly believe this.
