- William Kristol's Latest - Dyspepsia on the Right
- Mr. Kristol writes, "The conservative movement as a whole appears disgruntled and dyspeptic." He is correct. He also went on to write that if conservatives do not back McCain a Democrat will win the presidency and probably have a Democratic Congress to work with.
- He reasons that nothing could be worse for conservatives. When one considers, however, what happened the last time Democrats held the White House and Congress, he or she might doubt Mr. Kristol's disaster scenario for conservatives. Such an alignment of liberalism in Washington D.C. will clear the decks, something the conservative movement might very well need after eight years of a big spending Bush administration.
- Mr. Kristol, along with Senator McCain, are betting that conservatives so detest Hillary Clinton that they will hold their noses and vote for McCain. This assumes facts not in evidence. First, it looks like Hillary may just lose to Obama. In a McCain-Obama fight, Obama will likely win because he has his base and the Independents. At least Romney would have the base behind him and would have a chance with Independents, probably a better chance than McCain has getting conservatives. Second, if Hillary is the opponent conservatives might opt for a clearing of the decks because it could lead to another 1994.

- The Fox News McCain Backers
- One cannot tune into Special Report with Brit Hume or Fox News Sunday without hearing either Fred Barnes, Bill Kristol or Charles Krauthammer declaring Mitt Romney dead. Certainly he is behind, but to repeatedly say "It's too late," or "McCain's lead is insurmountable," indicates a clear McCain bias.
- If this year has taught us anything it is that the polls are not always reliable and those who we considered politically dead were not dead at all. Fred Barnes in particular has made his bias for McCain obvious. Even Brit Hume suggests that Romney should simply hang it up after Super Tuesday's certain trouncing. Why don't we just wait and see what happens on Tuesday. Romney very well might win substantially more delegates than Fox News conservatives anticipate. One thing is clear, the conservatives at Fox News, with the exception of Sean Hannity, are backing John McCain.

- The 'I Hate Romney' Club
- McCain, Thompson, Giuliani and Huckabee seem to dislike Romney for his money and aggressive political attacks, some of which they consider hypocritical. Huckabee, furthermore, seems to have dedicated his campaign solely to stopping Romney.
