David Frum Takes McCain to the Woodshed

Read it here. For those of you unfamiliar with David Frum, he's the guy that coined the immortal words "Axis of Evil" for Bush's 2002 State of the Union speech. Of course, he's full of cr*p regarding "angry liberals" stiffling dissent (and a lot of other things), but it's interesting nevertheless. Money graph:

Sure enough, the base has responded. After months and months of wan enthusiasm among Republicans, these last weeks have at last energized the core of the party. But there's a downside: The very same campaign strategy that has belatedly mobilized the Republican core has alienated and offended the great national middle, which was the only place where the 2008 election could have been won.
