More fundamentally, McCain’s problem is that his party is unfit to govern. ... Many Republicans are under the illusion that they are in trouble because they’ve betrayed their core principles. The sad truth is that if they’d been more conservative, they’d be even further behind.
Going back to "core principles" is exactly what Hannity has been urging for months and that's a good sign that the base of the GOP is out of touch with America. Brooks goes on to admit that spweing about the Free Market Fairy won't work:
I’ve spent the past few years trying to find conservative experts to provide remedies for middle-class economic anxiety. Let me tell you, the state of free-market thinking on this subject is pathetic. There are a few creative thinkers (most of them under 30), but for the most part, McCain is forced to run in an intellectual void.
