Buckley Fired for endorsing Obama

Your thoughts? http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/10/a-buckley-endorses-obama/
Personally I think that puts National Review SOLIDLY in the not credible in the least category. ;o) However what do you think about him getting fired from his own late father's website for simply endorsing "the other guy" and what do you think about his endorsement?

I think it's a good reminder that a few months ago, McCain wasn't "the guy".
People should be able to endorse who they want without reprisal.
I agree, and I wish it worked that way.

I think that it demonstrates that while the Republican party is great at getting it's leadership to communicate a singular message ("Cut and Run" anyone?), that there is as much diversity among members of the party as there is within the Democratic party, and to appeal to many, you have to probably make a lot of compromises.
Just an update:
In an online column, Buckley said he had decided to offer his resignation from the magazine his father founded after hundreds of readers and some National Review colleagues expressed outrage he was backing the Illinois senator.
"While I regret this development, I am not in mourning, for I no longer have any clear idea what, exactly, the modern conservative movement stands for."
"Eight years of 'conservative' government has brought us a doubled national debt, ruinous expansion of entitlement programs, bridges to nowhere, poster boy Jack Abramoff and an ill-premised, ill-waged war conducted by politicians of breathtaking arrogance. As a sideshow, it brought us a truly obscene attempt at federal intervention in the Terry Schiavo case," he also wrote.

Hello, I just watched Buckley on Chris Mathews explaining what happened.
I love his statement:
We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.
lol :)
As an aside, we voted here today, just waiting on the results later tonight.
