MICKEY PUNTS

It seems to me that a good blogger or pundit may legitimately stay above the fray for an election campaign, leaving whom he’ll support till the last minute. Well, it’s election eve as I write this and Mickey Kaus, who has devoted his entire blog to the California recall, still won’t say who he’s supporting. I can understand neutered blogger, Daniel Weintraub, staying mum. The Sacbee might fire him for endorsing a candidate. But what’s Mickey’s excuse? Is it that he either has to say he’d vote for AS and have all those neolibs and Dems screaming at him for being a neocon, Republican stooge? Or is it because he’ll reveal that, like most neolibs, he’s a partisan Democrat who just thinks his party is often wrong but can’t bring himself to pull the GOP lever? C’mon, Mickster. Don’t be a wuss.
