A recognition of what Obama has done so far to put Country First.

"Is the right becoming reconciled to Obama?

"Or beyond that, taking a shine to the guy?

"Are pundits thinking that, after a campaign in which he was called a socialist and closet Muslim who hangs around with America-hating preachers, the president-elect's really not so bad?

"I suspect that may be the case.

"Now maybe the conservative columnists simply misjudged Barack Obama. Maybe they were just being loyal to the McCain (but not necessarily the Palin) side.

"Or maybe they're pleasantly surprised that he hasn't named any wild-eyed left-wing radicals. That, in fact, he has appointed top-level folks that conservatives see as solid and centrist, including Hillary, who they view as something of a hawk."

Etc.
