Brooks has single handedly frozen hell. The never say die Republican hack has called Sarah Palin a fatal cancer to the Republican party and admitted that interacting with Obama dazzled him and he felt a tingle up his knee. He also predicts Obama will win by 9 points.

David Brooks is finally seeing the end of the Republican Party as he knows it. Expect the post-election Republican Party to split into factions between the Buckley conservatives like Brooks, Pat Buchanan conservatives like Sarah Palin and the right wng fundies, each fighting for control over the remains of the day.
In an interview with The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, Brooks admitted Sarah Palin is not ready to be President or Vice President, is ignorant of the power of ideas and is nothing more than a glorified Yes Woman as compared to Joe Biden who will never be anyone's patsy.
Lots of good stuff about Barack Obama and Joe Biden from a pleasantly surprising David Brooks including what he thinks of Brack as a senator ("mediocre") to what he thinks of his Presidential candidacy and capacity for success. It's a must read.
