Seems like some folks are on the ins, and some folks are on the outs (like Peggy Noonan.) Right now, this week, I think Bill Kristol is the best pundit/commentator going. He has been gently reassuring and generally upbeat. He has not declared Obama the winner or that he intends to vote for Obama, as some surprisingly have. "Can they Catch Up?" from the Weekly Standard is just one example. Another is his recent phone interview with Sarah Palin "The Wright Stuff." He has been a voice of conservative reason, while some of his fellow commentators have been watching too many Obama-kinder videos on You Tube. Kristol's approach has been pragmatic-- advising McCain and Palin on what he thinks they can do to win, and level-headed-- recognizing that other candidates have come back and won after being down in the polls as much as McCain allegedly is.
Yeay, Bill.

Political pundits are like the movie critics of the political world.

Who is Your Favorite Pundit Right Now? Either VDH, Mark Steyn or Thomas Sowell.
I do not always agree with them but they all know how to make a point with grace and style.

Ditto Britt Hume. He alone was taking McCain to task for not using Fannie Mae against Obama two weeks ago. He is always sensible and insightful.

Let me add
David Brooks. He apparently is the NYT's bone thrown to conservatives, and is a voice of sanity on Public Television's commentary following the conventions and debates.
