Pay attention: In the afterglow of the Massachusetts Miracle, there are flickers of peril for The Right. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but like Paul Reveres midnight-message, consider this warning a cry of defiance, and not of fear. Conservatives have worked hard over the past year to rebuild after Big Government Republican John McCains defeat. But McCain isnt going gently into that good night.

With all due respect to McCains past noble war service, its time to head to the pasture. As the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, he was wrong on the constitutionality of the free-speech-stifling McCain-Feingold campaign finance regulations. He was wrong to side with the junk-science global warming activists in pushing onerous carbon caps on America. He was on the wrong side of every Chicken Little-driven bailout. He was wrong in opposing enhanced CIA interrogation methods that have saved countless American lives and averted jihadi plots. And he was spectacularly wrong in teaming with the open-borders lobby to push a dangerous illegal alien amnesty.
Tea Party activists are rightly outraged by Sarah Palins decision to campaign for McCain, whose entrenched incumbency and progressive views are anathema to the movement. At least she has an excuse: Shes caught between a loyalty rock and a partisan hard place. The conservative base has no such obligations and it is imperative that they get in the game (as they did in Massachusetts) before its too late. The movement to restore limited government in Washington has come too far, against all odds, to succumb to McCain Regression Syndrome now.
