SELECTIVE AMNESIA: IT'S HOW RIGHT-WINGERS LIVE WITH THEMSELVES

John Hinderaker last night at Power Line:

... Lots of conservatives are freaking out, in the vernacular, over the prospect of the Republican Party nominating a moderate like John McCain.... There are a number of things going on here, of course, but one of the most important is the GOP's history of nominating the party's heir apparent. Republicans, much more than Democrats, seem to think that whoever is "next in line" more or less deserves the nomination.

As the number two contender in 2000, McCain was the heir apparent; hence his early front-runner status....

This Republican tendency can be frustrating, but it does spare us from embarrassments like Jimmy Carter and Michael Dukakis....

And when the heir-apparent doesn't get the GOP nomination? Any potential for embarrassment there, John?




Nope -- not a word from Hindrocket about this guy.
