McCain Derangement Syndrome

David Brooks just used the phrase McCain Derangement Syndrome. I love it.

So I Google it to see just how many hits it has: 33,000! I know that's a big increase from the last time I Googled it. Just don't know how big. But this is certainly interesting! McCain Derangement Syndrome stands on its own in comparison to Bush Derangement Syndrome.

UPDATE:
Had Mark Levin didn't read my blog this morning he'd know just how prevalent McCain Derangement Syndrome is. But alas, he's never heard of it:

I strongly oppose McCain's nomination, but I don't hate him. And I had not heard this phrase "McCain Derangement Syndrome" until Brooks dropped it into his column.

Mark, this is the curse of the "professional conservative" Pay attention.

David Brooks: Romney can't win.

This one is sure to send ripples throughout the blogosphere:

money quote: (is this just because I watched 'Swingers' last night?)

The leaders of the Republican coalition know Romney will lose. But some would rather remain in control of a party that loses than lose control of a party that wins.

Mitt has outspent every other candidate -Republican and Democrat- combined in Iowa and is STILL weaker in an Iowa general match-up than McCain and Huckabee. For weeks elites have turned a blind eye to Romney's electability problem and yet they play the FUD card all day long on Huckabee's electability.

Now it all clicks...

UPDATE:
Andrew Sullivan eerily agrees.
