That’s likely why he lost

This post from Glenn Reynolds is a short but telling.:

MCCAIN ON OBAMA APPOINTMENTS: “Many of these appointments he would have made himself.”

One might say that this explains why so many conservatives stayed home. I didn’t.

However if one actually reads the article there is this very important point:

He added, “Obama does not want to be the guy who lost Iraq when it is close to being won.”

That is the thing that may redeem this presidency. It is inevitable that liberals would get power sooner or later as much as it was inevitable that the power of the purse would corrupt conservatives. That’s the nature of the world. The primary reason why I supported McCain was the war. The primary reason why I held a sign at a polling place in the bluest of blue states on Election Day was Sarah Palin as I support her positions considerably more than Sen McCain’s.

If the president elect prosecutes the war to victory then I will consider his presidency a success since that is the president’s primary job. There is always 2012 or 2016 for Mrs. Palin and social and economic issues but the war comes first, survival is trumps. That’s why this stuff was and is smoke. Despite the nonsense we have been hearing this week he has a tough act to follow.
