The comments to this one should be fun. Say this much for Frum: He’s a bottom-line kind of guy. He doesn’t care how he gets to 51 percent, just as long as he gets there — even if it means embracing a guy who’s now noisily in favor of bigger government. His point, I guess, is simply that Cheney should have done a better job hedging the question about Limbaugh vs. Powell. No need to take the latter’s side, but no need to excommunicate him either by wondering aloud if voting for Obama is tantamount to rescission of one’s membership in the GOP.

Note his endorsement of Charlie Crist near the end. Maverick’s already on board the Crist express, too, as a quid pro quo for his endorsement before the Florida primary last year. That Crist/Rubio showdown really is going to be a death match between moderates and conservatives — and, if it plays out like I expect, between the party establishment and the grassroots. Ugly stuff, but bloggy gold!
