The New Republic has posted up their McCain archives, which include this gem by Frank Foer tracking the neoconservative affection for John McCain's 2000 run and concluding, "mainstream conservatives gloat that neocons will be shut out of jobs and influence in a Bush administration...the need for such a [neocon think tank] only underscores neoconservatism's lack of a coherent, distinct set of ideas--beyond mere disagreement with the GOP over sensibility and campaign strategy." Luckily, the neoconservatives no longer suffer from any such fuzziness. And now the Republican nominee is the guy they like, rather than the one who looked liable to shut them out. Fantastic.
