Rush to Rudy - How About a Conservative Approach?

How about a coherent approach? Does Kathryn Jean Lopez actually say anything of substance in this piece at National Review Online?

The long and the short of Lopez's piece is this: The conservative movement is longing for another Ronald Reagan. Such a leader needs to be able to stare down jihadis, but character counts, too. She's not sold on Rudy, but Rudy may be the guy for conservatives, or maybe not. Or maybe Romney's the guy. Who knows? It's a long election season that is just getting started, and we have a long time to get to know these guys. Blah, blah, blah.

I generally go to National Review because I think I'm going to get some kind of insight into political matters.
