Teflon John

The used to call Ronald Reagan the Teflon president. Maybe we need to start calling John McCain the Teflon Candidate. John Mark Reynolds observes:

McCain has also shown an ability to take tough punches from the conservative establishment and talk-radio. They cannot be more opposed to him than they were in the last week. It is safe to back McCain, because none of his opponents have shown an ability or willingness to land a punch. ...

Finally, much of the “conservative media establishment” has once again demonstrated that it is failing to reach the base of the party, particularly young voters.

Candidates slammed by Rush got over half the vote in his adopted home state.

McCain, Huckabee, and Paul were almost universally attacked and were outspent, but gained a majority of the vote.

Yep. There is much gnashing of teeth in the land of Rush, Hugh, and their ilk. Of course, there’s a little teeth gnashing here at PB.com too.
