Andrew Sullivan comments on journalists who knew that McCain staffers thought Palin was unprepared, but didn't report it until after the election: "They let the rules of the game over-rule their duty to tell the American people the truth as they began to discover it."
Andrew Sullivan's endorsement of Obama, framed as a response to "the core event of the last eight years: the collapse of constitutional order and the rule of law fomented in a mixture of hubris and laziness by the president himself."
Sullivan writes, "If I were to give one reason why I believe electing Barack Obama is essential tomorrow, it would be an end to this dark, lawless period in American constitutional government."
Some suggestions for the next president. For day one: "Cease and prohibit the use of torture and abuse, without exception"; "Close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay"; "Cease and prohibit the practice of extraordinary rendition."
