This seems to capture the attitude of many readers toward my column:

Jonah:
Please, please, please don’t take your eyes off the prize. Retire the Hillbillies back to the divorce courts of Arkansas.
There is nothing any of us can do that is more important politically, unless you can resurrect Ronald Reagan.
I’ll vote for McCain, Giuliani, or Romney (whom I prefer). Maybe NR can start a viral pledge drive to sign up people before the election who will take the Anyone But Hillary pledge. Vote for McCuliamney!!
