My neighbor e-mailed me this conservative’s endorsement of Obama. Wick Allison believes Obama will “not impulsively take us into another war unless American national interests are directly threatened.” I understand that, and I also understand his alienation from conservatism. Otherwise:
I now see that Obama is almost the ideal candidate for this moment in American history. I disagree with him on many issues. But those don’t matter as much as what Obama offers, which is a deeply conservative view of the world. Nobody can read Obama’s books (which, it is worth noting, he wrote himself) or listen to him speak without realizing that this is a thoughtful, pragmatic, and prudent man. It gives me comfort just to think that after eight years of George W. Bush we will have a president who has actually read the Federalist Papers.
