In analyzing a fellow pundit’s work at The Weekly Standard‘s website, William Kristol makes the following remarks about the next presidential campaign:

My conclusion from this? The 2012 GOP presidential nomination is too important to waste. And it’s too important for candidates who might be successful to pass up. Any Republican leader who cares about the future of the country, and who thinks it’s possible he or she might be the best nominee, should keep an open mind about running. Donors, activists and citizens should keep an open mind about who would prove to be the best nominee, and watch to see how they all perform–in Congress, in statehouses, in debates, and on the stump–over the next year. It’s worth getting this nomination right.

You might recall Kristol’s recent comments for Carolina Journal Radio about the resurgence of limited-government conservatism in American politics.
