The chattering classes have decided, amongst themselves, that the election is over. We will now see the conservative elites separate themselves into the principled conservatives and those who put a shiv into Palin as a way of currying favour with what they believe will be the New Order.

Well said. It wasn’t enough for the self proclaimed Hero to help Zero by publically endorsing him he had to stick it to Palin saying she was not ready to lead. I wonder what he received for this endorsement. I just hope and pray we all live to see the day of Nov. 4 McCain and Palin receive their respect and America understands how we are being manipulated, lied and corrupted by donations abroad, election attempted to be stolen via ACORN/Obama....and our team wins in spite of so many obstacles.
The Chris Buckleys and Brookses have been shanking Palin enthusiastically on their own accord because she's a threat to their ownership of the GOP.
They mostly work for the Wall Street Wing of the party, fronted by Manor Bush and the people clustered around e.g. Bob Dole's campaign and, this year, Mitt Romney's and then McCain's, when Romney failed to ignite.
They thoroughly dislike social conservatives and are liberals at heart who simply know how to add up their own bank balances and resist tax-raisers. That's what those guys are all about. That is what they were about 45 years ago, when Theodore White was sticking ice picks in the conservatives in his Making of the President series and calling the Wall Street Wing "the best of their kind" or some similar claptrap.
What is happening now is that they see McCain weakening and their own future going away with McCain's advancement of Sarah Palin. They recognize that she is the future of the GOP, not they. They fought back after the conservatives brought the beef to the table in 1994 by winning the Congress; they can't survive another leadership challenge by a gifted social conservative like Palin, who is this Republican generation's Newt, Rush, and Maggie Thatcher all rolled into one. Hell, she could be the next Ronald Reagan.
So they are shanking her bigtime, and their shanking and shivving will be duly remembered.
