The clear implication of the quote you gave is that conservatives aren't paying attention and will wke up after the election. Even the text of the blog says most conservative commentators aren't addressing this yet. All I'm saying is that he's bringing up a point that's been discussed here for quite awhile, so he shouldn't pretend like he's seeing into the future about how we'll feel after Bush wins.

That's bullshit. He may not express himself well, but we're electing a President, not a Chief Public Relations Executive. He said in the debate that he would act unilaterally if necessary. He voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq when it appeared that force might be necessary to pre-empt the use of WMD against us. So what's your problem? His judgment couldn't be any worse than Bush's.

Depends which day it is. More than half of the days since he's said it was the wrong thing to do. Will he do it next time given the same set of facts, and no knowledge that its all a bluff?
Hello
PS and sorry for questioning his characterizations of who is a "serious conservative". Not that he's trustworthy, and not that I even recognized the names of more than half of the people he cites, but I'm not sure there are even 10 household recognizable true and serious conservatives left in the public realm in this country.
