Malkin and McCain

Is anyone aware of what position Michelle Malkin has taken on McCain since he clinched the nomination? I ask this because she certainly was very agin’ him over the Comprehensive Black Death immigration bill last year, as can be seen from this selection of her articles that I found via Google:

John McCain’s open-borders outreach director
John McCain: The Geraldo Rivera Republican
John McCain: La Raza’s voice in Washington
Meet the open borders family: McCain, Hernandez …

Yet now Malkin is in full attack mode against Hillary Clinton. Is Malkin, like me, attacking Democrats because they deserve to be attacked, or is she, like your standard mainstream conservative, attacking Democrats in order to help elect McCain? If the latter, how can she reconcile that with her past strong opposition to him? Has she even tried to justify it, or did she simply say, well, we have to beat the evil Democrats, therefore we support McCain?

She hasn’t said. Malkin makes plain enough that we’ve lost no matter who is elected, but to my knowledge has not said she will not personally vote for him, or vote for the Democrat to keep him out of office. She encourages people to vote for the lesser offices, and especially for the local offices of all kinds.

This is every conservatives problem, is it not—what lever to pull for that office? After McCain’s recent speech on global warming, he will have cemented a few more conservatives against him, but it is apparent now he sees the harvest to the left to be much richer. And with the Democrat fracture and resulting hard feelings, it will be. This gives the hideous little man a real chance, and I think he has sensed it. The good news is, he will run further left and not be confused with conservatism. That is good for everybody. If he is beaten, and the down-tickets are clobbered, the Republicans may well re-form. But if he wins, is it not time to be thinking soberly of a new party?
