A thoughtful and common-sense analysis from former Reagan-era policymaker Ken Adelman on why he's backing Obama and not McCain. The crux:
Granted, McCain's views are closer to mine than Obama's. But I've learned over this Bush era to value competence along with ideology. Otherwise, our ideology gets discredited, as it has so disastrously over the past eight years.
McCain's temperament -- leading him to bizarre behavior during the week the economic crisis broke -- and his judgment -- leading him to Wasilla -- depressed me into thinking that "our guy" would be a(nother) lousy conservative president. Been there, done that.
(emphasis added). Exactly. 'Not sure why more conservatives can't bring themselves to recognize the obviousness of this idea.
