As I said to Michael Medved on a radio show today, the issue — with some exceptions — is issues. This is primary season, and this is the time to debate record and temperament. I think I agree with Jonah that some perspective is in order — but what does conservative mean? What is a conservative candidate? Do we have one? Etc. Are debates to have now, before it’s too late. Which is my dear friend Mark’s bottom line, I think.
