But today, he at least has my respect for acknowledging that Obama will most likely win.
Part of reassurance is intellectual. Like Palin, he's a rookie, but in his 19 months on the national stage he has achieved fluency in areas in which he has no experience. In the foreign policy debate with McCain, as in his July news conference with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Obama held his own -- fluid, familiar, and therefore plausibly presidential. ... [he] has shown that he is a man of limited experience, questionable convictions, deeply troubling associations ... and an alarming lack of self- definition -- do you really know who he is and what he believes? Nonetheless, he's got both a first-class intellect and a first-class temperament. That will likely be enough to make him president.
As Joe Klein pointed out today, Krauthammer's "throw[n] in the towel."
