I’m not saying that John McCain should have unconditionally endorsed Sarah Palin for 2012 on George Snuffleupagus’ show today, but he could have at least thrown her a bone for the hard work she did for him.

Hey, David Brooks, listen up. Kathleen Parker, too. You want to know one reason that a whole lot of conservatives really dig Sarah Palin? Try this interview. The Alaska governor said she would be honored to help out Obama and his new administration — even though he did hang around with an “unrepentant domestic terrorist” [...]

There are two things you can say for sure about Michael Barone’s work. First, he is arguably the finest observer of the political process we have in this country.
