Friedman "endorses" Obama

Sort of. I don't agree as I subscribe to the split government theory, but his choice does have some merit. One quibble:
McCain strikes me as a nationalist, likely to be comfortable with retaining and even expanding on the increases in executive authority claimed by Bush. He is also the one pro-war candidate.

(emphasis added)

That sentence alone makes me wonder if he's been watching a different election cycle. OK, maybe that's more than a quibble.

I'm neither endorsing nor rejecting David and Steve's arguments, I just believe (as does Steve) that the difference between Obama and McCain is not nearly as large as people wish it was.
