On Monday night I was at a nonprofit fundraiser where a friend of mine was being honored. I braved it with one of those Ann Hand sparkler John McCain 2008 pins Cindy McCain wears. I was pleasantly surprised how many high-end folks at the Rainbow Room were asking me if I had “any good news,” had their fingers crossed, were praying for a McCain victory. I was surprised but probably shouldn’t be. Arthur Brooks tells us how generous conservatives tend to be. At the benefit, these were people who clearly appreciate the wisdom of subsidiarity. These are people who appreciate liberty.
