The least repellent Republican

That, boiled down, amounts to the substance of the NY Times' endorsement of John McCain.
More details here, including the fact that apparently the McCain campaign touted the endorsement on the front page of its website--but soon, upon being zinged for the endorsement by the Romney campaign, quietly took it down.

As the Powerliners point out, the tone and substance of this endorsement literally drips with contempt and insults for Republicans. What McCain should do, if he really wants to begin to unite conservatives around his candidacy, is publicly reject this endorsement. But he won't. He apparently wanted the endorsement, even meeting with the Times' editorial board.
