Update: 10/17

Turns out I'm not the only one who sees the coming storm in the GOP. WaPo's got an interesting article on-line today about Christopher Buckley, son of conservative founding-father William F. Buckley, endorsing Obama and resigning the National Review:

Now, this isn't like The Gipper's Son turning Dem. This is a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, scion of conservativism's first family telling his party he's had enough of their nonsense. I highly suggest following the links to Buckley's own articles on this matter.

Does it say something that conservative intellectuals have abandoned McCain, and all that's left is an unruly mob yelling "terrorist" and "Arab" ?
