One reads of people obsessed with finding Bigfoot or the Loch Ness
monster or even Elvis. These folks may be silly, deluded and no doubt
annoying, but for most of us, they are not really a problem. The same
cannot be said of those pundits obsessed with a quest to locate that
equally elusive creature, the intellectually honest, public-spirited
conservative Republican politician. Combining their wishful delusion
with an apparently congenital inability to admit error, these pundits
are succeeding in the creation of an entirely fictional narrative about
this year’s election.
