So, Who Will Conservatives Vote For Now?

Here's what Michael D. thinks:

Right now, the whackosphere is behaving like you did when you wanted ice cream when your mommy or daddy told you that you were getting a cookie. You jumped up and down on the floor. You screamed. You held your breath till you were almost blue in the face. Eventually though, you took the cookie.

Rush Limbaugh will vote for John McCain.
Sean Hannity will vote for John McCain.
Laura Ingraham will vote for John McCain.
James Dobson will vote for John McCain.

Conservatives won't sit out the election in 2008. They will vote for John McCain. Sean Hannity will eventualy have McCain on his radio show telling him he's a "Great American and patriot." Right now, they're just having a little temper tantrum. In time, you they'll be talking about John McCain as though they were with him all along. You know it. I know it. I don't listen to any of these shows, but I am sure it's gonna make for great radio over the next few months.

While I LOVE the metaphor, somehow, I'm not so sure. I think some of these guys are really looking at 2012 already. Conservatives have been really good at taking the long view in the past. And why not? They've spent so much time looking back decades, if not centuries, to before The Beatles, before the New Deal, before trustbusting, before the Magna Carta... what's a few years to wait going forward?
