Phil Klein Endorses Obama

OK, that’s a slight distortion:

Why I’d back Obama over Ron Paul

What I can’t understand is why Phil felt the need to write a column like that. Nobody who supports Ron Paul is open to persuasion, and Republicans who don’t support Ron Paul are unlikely to undergo a last-minute conversion at this point. (Unless, like Kent Sorenson, they’re sold-out backstabbers.)

Klein seems to be making a “here, top this” gesture, striving for the championship in the Anti-Ron Paul Derby. And, of course, his criticism will be dismissed by Paul’s supporters with two words: “Israel lobby.”

    No better at all. The man isn’t enough different from Obama to matter.

    I strongly suspect you’re proof.

    Well, that’s better than being called “neocon” by the Paul “trash talkers” all the time.

    Whistle louder! The graveyard you’re walking past is much bigger than you seem to realize.

    Hey I don’t speak for nobody but myself. I don’t speak for “conservatives”, nor do I try to. I’m not a fucking robot, so shove it up your ass.
