The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    Obamacons get some press.

    The new republic has published a fascinating article by Bruce Bartlett about conservative attraction to Obama that is well worth the read:
    you probably have not have heard of many of the Obamacons--and neither has the Obama campaign. When I checked with it to ask for a list of prominent conservative supporters, the campaign seemed genuinely unaware that such supporters even existed. But those of us on the right who pay attention to think tanks, blogs, and little magazines have watched Obama compile a coterie drawn from the movement's most stalwart and impressive thinkers. It's a group that will no doubt grow even larger in the coming months.
    This election is making for strange bedfellows indeed!
