It’s getting worse when the son of conservative icon William F. Buckley decides to vote for the other side:
This campaign has changed John McCain. It has made him inauthentic. A once-first class temperament has become irascible and snarly; his positions change, and lack coherence; he makes unrealistic promises, such as balancing the federal budget “by the end of my first term.” Who, really, believes that? Then there was the self-dramatizing and feckless suspension of his campaign over the financial crisis. His ninth-inning attack ads are mean-spirited and pointless. And finally, not to belabor it, there was the Palin nomination. What on earth can he have been thinking?
Maybe not as eye opening as the son of the Republican god (that’s Reagan to the rest of us) comes out in favor of the other side, but certainly telling about where things are going.
