“Perhaps most remarkable about the attempt to portray Obama as a lightweight celebrity is how true of McCain that description now seems to be.”
My father and I have discussed this question in the abstract: “Who would you rather have in high office: an incompetent ally or a competent opponent?”
The answer, of course, is that it all depends. What degree of incompetence are we dealing with? What are the stakes?
I'm still at the point where I can see both sides of the argument. But it has been a long time since I doubted that this is the relevant question for (heterodox) conservatives in 2008.
