Leading conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer pretty much threw in the white flag this morning. He did a little slash and burn first, trying to mislead his readers into thinking that Obama has only been working at the federal level for 19 months – cute, but a lie – but still, even Krauthammer had to then concede that Obama is probably going to win. Now, don’t get your hopes too high – we can still lose this. But the fact that people like Krauthammer are already publicly lamenting McCain’s loss, one month before the election, is a very good sign. It means Republicans are pretty much convinced it’s over. And that’s golden.
