More signs of decay at NR since Buckley died.
To each his own, it can be uneven, but there was only one Buckeley.
The only bright spot is that Obama has been so awful. My favorite is still Palin, but her negatives are in the 50s and positives are only in the 20s. So, unless I'm wrong, I don't see her running.
That said, I thought there was a lot of truth in what he wrote. I'm thinking maybe they should try drafting Gen. Petraeus, who's supposed to be stepping down this year according to Daily Caller via Yahoo.
Uh oh. You've done it now. Here come the Sarah Bots, swarming in like a herd of locusts. They're poised to pick your bones dry.

Now that would be a game changer, wouldn't it?
Considering she's in private life and not running for anything, how'd they do that except by innuendo and direct abuse and libel? Assuming arguendo for ten seconds that anything that bozo is telling us is within 15 parsecs of correct.
The assumption GOP establishmentarians and traitorous 'Rat-bastards alike want conservatives to accept, seems to be that Sarah Palin couldn't turn their boasted polling "data" around with the exposure of a political campaign, working her own crowds and speaking at her own engagements. She's toast, it's over before it starts, done deal, ha ha fixed you you punks.
So far what people have mostly seen is the cast of SNL and a couple of McCainiac/Romneybot-scripted campaign appearances. I think Sarah on the campaign trail would be able to war down a lot of that stuff and paint her own picture.
So, all that aside, who does this infantile Moonbat think the GOP "ought" to nominate ("anybody but Palin", of course) if the Pubbies "really" want to win?
Keeping in mind that Jonathan Alter, with a straight face, told Pubbies in 1995 that they had really better get serious about nailing down the nomination for Bob Dole ultra-early, since only Uncle Bob had the gravitas, the real-world realness to rescue the GOP from silliness, irrelevancy, and oblivion (i.e. the then-current MSM campaign of personal destruction they were waging on Newt, Rush, and Dole).
Of course, Alter knew that Dick Morris and Bill Clinton had already poll-tested all the GOP hopefuls to death (with their traitorous Chinese reptile money), and their data showed Dole as the weakest candidate and Slick's best matchup.
And we know how 1996 turned out. It turned out that 1996 was over sometime in 1995, the instant the Republicans believed the crap Alter was telling them.
Of 43 men elected President to date, there haven't been that many generals--Washington, Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Taylor, Pierce, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, Eisenhower. Only one in the last 120 years since those old enough to become generals in the Civil War got too old to run for President.
