McCain for President
USS Neverdock — Krauthammer endorses McCain. "There's just no comparison. Obama's own running mate warned this week that Obama's youth and inexperience will invite a crisis -- indeed a crisis "generated" precisely to test him. Can you be serious about national security and vote on Nov. 4 to invite that test? And how will he pass it?

He tried to ...

McCain for President
Babalú Blog: an island on the net without a bearded dictator — McCain for President Charles Krauthammer has an excellent editorial today in the Washington Post where he brilliantly articulates the choice America will have on November 4th.

The financial crisis has made us forget, or just blindly deny, how dangerous the world out there is. We have a ...
