Shocked, Shocked for Barack! The cheapest out if your’e a previously McCain-friendly pundit who wants to endorse Obama is to say you like McCain but can’t vote for him because you’re revolted by his campaign. It’s an out elaborately developed by Joe Klein at Time, and it’s an out Anne Applebaum takes in Tuesday’s WaPo. . . . The problem with the “I’m repulsed” argument is that while it’s eminently respectable it’s unserious.
Especially when McCain’s campaign is compared with Obama’s campaign.
