IT’S STILL ONLY SEPTEMBER; HE CAN CHANGE HIS MIND ONCE AGAIN: In March of 2011, Andrew Sullivan told Chris Matthews, “I don’t know why anybody voted for Obama in the primaries,” and around the same time, titled a piece, “Obama To The Next Generation: Screw You, Suckers.”

Today? Sullivan dubs Obama “The Democrats’ Reagan” on the cover of Newsweek. Or to put it another way, Sullivan believes Mr. Obama to be “the right man – and the conservative choice – for a difficult and perilous time.”

Which is how Sullivan described John Kerry right around this same time eight years ago.
