George Will is one of my favorite conservatives as he actually approaches issues from a rigorous if conservative perspective, as opposed to the unadulterated propagandistic and utterly biased perspective of say William Kristol or Victor David Hanson.
Will here while attempting to deflect the somewhat silly McCain "too many houses to count" gaffe more importantly frames why an alleged elitist like say Obama might not be such a bad idea.
"Charges of "elitism" are hardy perennials, but surely Americans can accept two axioms. The first is: The central principle of republican government is representation, under which the people do not decide issues, they decide who shall decide. The second is: Elections decide not whether elites shall rule but which elites shall rule."
