Christopher Buckley (novelist) - Obama Endorsement

Obama Endorsement

For a brief time in summer and fall 2008, Christopher Buckley also wrote the back-page column for National Review, the conservative magazine founded by his father. This came to an end after Buckley endorsed the 2008 Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama in October 2008. Buckley's endorsement, entitled "Sorry Dad, I'm Voting for Obama", appeared in The Daily Beast. He chose The Daily Beast to avoid complications with National Review. After many readers and contributors expressed their displeasure, Buckley resigned from National Review. Buckley last wrote a column for The Daily Beast in April 2010.
