"Right-wing Support for Barack Obama Increasingly Conspicuous and Voluble"

I was beginning to think I was the only writer in the blogosphere who had noticed how the likes of NY Times columnist David Brooks and other leading conservative pundits were promoting Barrack Obama with gushing endorsements in their respective venues.

They hate Hillary Clinton and they think he just might be able to beat her.
