Today's Polls, 10/23: McCain on Life Support

— fivethirtyeight.com — This is not the time when John McCain can afford a bad polling day. And yet he's had perhaps his worst one of the year.

Game. Set. Match.
The LLama Butchers — Game. Set. Match. Krauth : The case for McCain is straightforward. The financial crisis has made us forget, or just blindly deny, how dangerous the world out there is. We have a generations-long struggle with Islamic jihadism. An apocalyptic, soon-to-be-nuclear Iran. A nuclear-armed Pakistan in danger of fragmentation. A rising Russia pushing the limits of revanchism. Plus the sure-to-come Falklands-like surprise popping out of nowhere. Who do you want answering that phone at 3 a.m.? A man who’s been cramming on these issues for the last year, who’s never had to make an ...

Friday!
Rachel Lucas — It’s like Maggie knows where the camera frame is. She’s very clever. So it’s Friday, you know what that means, lab all day. Comment about whatever you want but be nice. I’ve had a lot of trolls lately and wish for a happy thread. Treacher has breaking news: Sarah Palin supersizes her fries! The Hammer (Charles Krauthammer) endorses McCain and rides roughshod over a bunch of dillwads in the process. I like him very much. And this will warm your heart. Reader Wayne sent it the other ...

Charles Krauthammer will not be joining the "motley crew" of "wet-fingered conservatives" who are flipping to Obama.
Althouse — Krauthammer sees what they're doing! Now that they see Barack Obama is going to win, they don't want to be "left out in the cold without a single state dinner for the next four years." Krauthammer "will go down with the McCain ship." He would "rather lose an election than lose my bearings." You hear that, you traitors? ...

Going McCain
The Corner on National Review Online — This is all well and good , but Steyn, VDH, and I not only said this days ago on this site, but when we engaged in debate over it with others we were admonished that now is not the time to raise it. I agree with Krauthammer or, more accurately, he agrees with Steyn, VDH, and me. And we weren't necessarily the first to say it either.

Swift Reactions 9: In Which Ann Althouse Tasks Me
Jon Swift — ... way of speaking, and probably how she speaks to her students as well to toughen them up, so I don’t take it personally. I only wish her well in her desire to someday earn the respect of the eastern elites, which she so clearly craves, like those other “wet-fingered conservatives” that Charles Krauthammer writes about. ...

Krauthammer: Further Left than LBJ
Articles on National Review Online — L ast week I made the open-and-shut case for John McCain : In a dangerous world entering an era of uncontrolled nuclear proliferation, the choice between the most prepared foreign-policy candidate in memory vs. a novice with zero experience and the wobbliest one-world instincts is not a close call. But it s all about economics and kitchen-table issues, we are told. OK. Start with economics. Neither candidate has particularly deep economic knowledge or finely honed economic instincts. Neither has any clear idea exactly what to do in the current financial meltdown. Hell, neither ...
