It’s Valentine’s Day, so every Republican pundit is sending flowers to John McCain.
Michael Reagan writes that his father would have supported McCain. Ronald Reagan, he recalls, had a real dust-up against Jerry Ford in 1976.
When it was over and Ford had won, what did Ronald Reagan do? He simply went all-out to help Ford win his re-election, as did I and as did my sister Maureen. My dad simply followed his rule of backing the Republican candidate no matter who he was.
Larry Kudlow is for McCain. Why? He’s going to be the next president.
For starters, McCain will have a unified Republican Party — conservatives and all — working hard for him. He’s also going to win over the Reagan Democrats, the Bush Democrats and the Perot independents. These folks demand a strong military, want government off their backs, and are sick and tired of growing federal deficits and out-of-control spending. McCain’s their man.
Listen to Larry Elder. Sure, many Republicans are upset because McCain voted the wrong way on the tax cuts, on ANWR, and immigration.
But aren’t these I-can’t-pull-the-lever-for-McCain Republicans the same people who purport to care about A) the war in Iraq, B) the economy, and C) the Supreme Court?
Even old William Rusher puts in a word for John McCain.
He will be a formidable adversary for the Democrats. As I have warned before, 2008 has all the earmarks of being a Democratic year. The Republicans have held most of the major offices of government for eight years, and lots of people will think it’s simply the Democrats’ "turn." But Hillary, instead of McCain? Obama, instead of McCain? It makes one wonder.
Earmarks? So that’s it, then. John McCain’s our man.
