Obama And Conservatives Break Bread At George Will's House January 13, 2009
Barack Obama took the next big step in his Republican charm offensive on Tuesday night, when he dined with several of the nation's most prominent conservative pundits.
The president-elect arrived at the Chevy Chase, Md., home of syndicated columnist George Will shortly after 6:30 p.m., according to a press pool report. Greeting him at the residence were other luminaries of the conservative commentariat, including the Weekly Standard's William Kristol, New York Times columnist David Brooks, and Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post.
[WS:] Realignment on which side? Perhaps the said "luminaries" are fed up with the redneck populism that Karl Rove and his cronies brought to the Repug party and try to re-align themselves away from it, no?
