Smart People to Debate

More shout outs to the blogosphere from David Brooks. His favorite conservative writers are:

There are dozens of writers I could put in this group, but I’d certainly mention Yuval Levin, Daniel Larison, Will Wilkinson, Julian Sanchez, James Poulos, Megan McArdle, Matt Continetti and, though he’s a tad older, Ramesh Ponnuru.

Ross Douthat and my former assistant, Reihan Salam, are two of the most promising. This pair has just come out with a book called “Grand New Party: How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream.”

The best thing for liberals is to have smart people to debate. If these guys represent the new conservative movement and can breath life in the old order, then things are good.
