For example, novelist and leading conservative thinker, Christopher Buckley, son of William F. Buckley, the father of modern conservatism would never vote for a terrorist for president. Or for someone who likes terrorists, or defrauds voters or hates America.
Buckley's smart and has every connection to find these things out. So when he switches form McCain to Obama we know one thing for sure:
