Here's Some Honest Diversity of Opinion

I spend too much time on left-wing blogs or watching the "liberal elites" on the cablers. So, in an effort to see what the other side is saying, I checked out some conservative blogs this afternoon, just to see. Here's a sampling:

From Dick Morris:

This bold move could have an impact on the race akin to McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate. Defensively, McCain had to act to stop the fall in his poll numbers.

Offensively, he has placed himself at the epicenter of the only issue on the national agenda - proactive action to stop a total international financial collapse.

Obama's response to McCain's initiative is lame. As with his initial reaction to Sarah Palin, Obama has miscalculated. While he tries to spin McCain's move as a mere response to his initiative, it was the Republican who first issued the call for a suspension of the campaigns.

From the Right Commentary:

Nothing good will come of McCain's suspension of his campaign. He has two choices. He can come to Oxford and mop the floor with that liberal nut-job. Or he can just hand Obama the keys to the White House now.

The National Review's Campaign Spot:

I am not certain McCain is right on the politics of this, i.e., whether or not the public will agree with him that this is a good idea. But I think it's probably right as a matter of policy. There's still plenty of time to do three presidential and one vice-presidential debate.

From The Corner:

Actually, I'm just sitting here wishing Sarah Palin could have married Mitt Romney -- then these Christianists could rule a Brave New Theocracy together and I wouldn't have to pay attention to another politician again.

I would also note that, both Michelle Malkin and Anne Coulter are blaming the housing crisis on public housing entitlements. Interesting.

Still, in all honesty, I spent about 45 minutes checking conservative blogs, and -- for the most part -- they're not talking about the campaign suspension very much. They seem to be avoiding the issue. Interesting.
