William F. Buckely's son endorses Obama.

God, I hope this isn't old news but I've checked the other threads and didn't see anything. Here's a link: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/10/10/a_buckley_for_obama.html

I guess you could read the National Review as well.

Just another true conservative who is turning away from McCain.

2. I have a feeling the Old Man would have endorsed Obama too.

When so many other conservative columnists seem to be doing so. Buckley was an intellectual, and he'd be appalled by the anti-intellectual bent of this new GOP crowd.

4. I Think You Give Him Too Much Credit

It was always about money, not intellect. Intellect was his recreation activity, if it didn't get in the way of the gold.

3. IMO that's because SOME conservatives don't consider intellectual curiosity an Anti-American trait.
