Something to keep in mind,
as you read that this or that Washington conservative has endorsed John McCain:
[C]onservatives are growing increasingly “resigned” to the idea of a McCain nomination, said David Keene, chairman of the American Conservative Union, adding that among Washington activists, many of whom, like him, double as lobbyists, self-interest may also be a factor.“There are people who don’t like the idea of a being off a campaign or being on the bad list if the guy gets into the White House,” Mr. Keene said. “This is a town in which 90 percent of the people balance their access and income on the one hand versus their principles on the other.”
That's also something to keep in mind when you read that none of the several people who say they heard McCain express reservations about Justice Alito want to recount this on the record.
