He probably is lurking and realizes I am on to him. :-)

Maybe Kristol realizes now who holds the power in DC. I have confidence, however, that his conversion is temporary.

Well, he did have a rather pained expression on his face, despite the good words. As if it hurt him to see Bush win another round!

But seriously, the Dems are going to screw this up big-time for us. I mean, for a little while there the GOP faithful were divided over this whole Lott fiasco. Now we cleaned house and nothing will rally us together better than refutuing the Dem smear of racism. They are really accusing each of us for being racists when they accuse the party. I live and vote in Georgia and I know precisely whyI voted GOP, it had nothing to do with race or the Confederacy.

Miss M -

First let it be said that I'm a conservative Republican. Now: I'm disappointed that Kristol supported McCain - I thought he was a lot smarter than that.

W/that understanding, I take The Weekly Standard along with the National Review. I read both. I enjoy reading the WS and I plod through NR. WS hasn't let me down on the conservative end of things and the writing is top notch. NR hasn't let me down either, except that they haven't found an adequate replacement for Flo King on the back page. They also tend to be more pedantic. Some folks like that - I'm not one of them.

I enjoy Kristol and reserve the right to think for myself, which you no doubt do as well. We can agree to disagree on this one.
