NRO. like Weekly Standard, and Fox News, are peopled by folk who live in the Washington / New York "axis of weasels" corridor (even if they have homes elsewhere). It's beyond most people to maintain a stubborn allegiance to a cause when everyone else is 100% convinced that you're wrong and they insist on constantly reminding everyone of the fact... loudly. They need to listen to voices like ours more often.
I think that was one of the reasons Tony was able to maintain his positions with such good cheer. He listened to voices outside of the axis, including ours. Rush spends very little time immersed inside the echo chamber of the axis as well. He has perspective that the folks at NRO, TWS and Fox don't.
If this turns out the way I think (and pray) it will there are a lot of people who are going to have to do a lot of soul searching. And some of them are going to have to find another line of work, as well.
I hope some newspaper folks are going to have to find another line of work. Our local paper, which serves a very red State, endorsed Obama this morning. I just cancelled our subscription. It felt sooooo good!
