“The president-elect (Obama) arrived at the Chevy Chase, Md., home of syndicated columnist George Will shortly after 6:30 p.m., according to a press pool report. Greeting him at the residence were other luminaries of the conservative commentariat, including the Weekly Standard’s William Kristol, New York Times columnist David Brooks, and Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post.”
With the exception of Kristol, I will predict that the other three (Will, Brooks and quite possibly Krauthammer) will endorse Obama for reelection over Palin. This election is shaping up not as liberal versus conservative(although Will etc are not what I would call conservative) but as elite versus populist, similar to the Jackson versus John Quincy Adams election of 1828.(BTW, the elites lost that one 57-43, losing the entire country except.....you guessed it the Northeast)
