Aren't most Massachusetts Republicans RINOs? Are there even that many Republicans in MA? I would be very surprised to find out that the red/blue factor there depends on the endorsement of Bill Weld...but I can't pretend to understand the mindset of an electorate that keeps voting for John Kerry and Ted Kennedy. ;) Interesting how all these people waited until the election has just about been decided before making their brave announcements.

Now if Romney came out for Obama...that would be an entirely different story...

Add former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld to the list of squishy Repubs. He went from supporting Romney to supporting Obama. A fairly mind boggling transformation to be sure. I consider it to be a defection. I used to be a fan of Weld and still find him to be an amiable fellow, but he is now essentially a Democrat who has suddenly solidified his status as a RINO.

I agree with all of this, but I think it's just temporary insanity for some of these conservatives. After the election, we will see what happens and how these conservatives react to the results.

This treacherous behavior by a good many conservative members of the media disgusts me.

I'm tempted to believe it is as simple as Noonan, Hitchens, Powell, Doug Kmiec, Parker, etc., wanting to be able to say that they were on the 'right' side of history with Obama. They didn't, in other words, vote against the black guy.

Particularly in the cases of Powell, for obvious reasons and the annoyingly whimsical Noonan, who has become an emotional and intellectual train wreck.

God forbid they might feel uncomfortable at a Manhattan dinner party or be uninvited to an official state dinner at the White House.

Nice principles, too, especially on the parts of Noonan and Parker. They should be celebrating this fantastic, powerful woman named Sarah Palin, not trashing her.

As for Powell, I'd love to ask him the following: If Governor Palin is inexperienced, what does that then say about Barack Obama?
