The Post-Liberal

The Post-Liberal--moi--is a McCain-Palin supporter who is the kiss of death, because he has voted for the loser in every presidential election since 1972 except three: 1976, 1992, and 1996. The Post-Liberal grew up in New York City, graduated from two Ivy League universities (B.A. and Ph.D) and has been a subscriber to the NY Times, The New Yorker, The New Republic, and the Atlantic. But this university professor and lifelong Democrat--and now post-democrat--is solidly behind John McCain's campaign for the presidency. My fellow "cosmopolitans" would like us to believe that John McCain "doesn't get it" and that only those who don't get it or don't care would support him. In this space I will post occasional essays explaining what I think John McCain gets that Obama, the NY Times and my twentysomething children do not.
