Apparently there’s no end to defecting conservatives:
I’m announcing my full support for Senator Obama because trillion-dollar-a-go-go entitlements, tax hikes, socialized health care, and federally-funded day care for three-year-olds are exactly what we small-government conservatives are looking for.
So says Mark Steyn, in a real shocker which Glenn Reynolds linked earlier.
Better read it all.
It’s late and people have been taking me seriously and my investments are losing their value.
So I’m getting confused. But I don’t want to go wobbly.

One response to “Steyn supports Obama!”
Steyn – that other Mark Steyn, I mean – is probably holding out hope that Obama’s lying and will be more of a Clintonian pragmatist.
Which is fine, but even if that turns out to be the case, what does anyone lose by sticking with McCain until at least the day after the election? As I recall, Benedict Arnold was not highly thought of by the British, who had little more use for a traitor than the Americans did. I expect that Buckley and Noonan will still get invited to all the good cocktail parties if Obama wins, and they’ll be subject to constant ribbing and low grade mockery. Fine by me if they want to spend the next four to eight years eating shit and smiling about it.
