"Caretaker Government"

By The Daily Dish

Yuval Levin makes the case for John McCain:

Ironically, given the candidate’s own penchant for drama, a McCain administration would probably exercise a calming influence after the staggeringly eventful last eight years we have experienced. It would claim to be historic but it would largely be a transitional caretaker government in a time of transition when some serious problems need to be taken care of. It would be more right than left, but less ideological than any presidency we have seen in a century.

Calming? And the Palin pick as "less ideological"?
