“Capricious” got to me also. Of all words...LOL.
She came in with her endorsement ‘late’ - so it was hardly “capricious.’ Keeping with the lawyerly talk, she had plenty of time to “deliberate” before she endorsed Chrsitine.
LOL.
re: “capricious”
It was a deliberate and carefully chosen insult. Think of it as Krauthammer’s erudite and elegant version of the “nutz & slutz” attacks in which the lesser lights of the elite nomenclatura are indulging themselves.
I don't know what was behind her late endorsement of O'Donnell. I know she had a chance to meet and talk with CO at the Beck rally, so she had some sense of Christine from a face-to-face meeting.
My guess is that with her recent endorsement successes she felt she could afford this "swing for the fences." Believe me, if O'Donnell wins it will be a huge victory for grassroots conservatives. The Beltway GOP will be rocked.
