vote for fred
If only Fred Thompson had decided to make a serious effort to run for President at the beginning, we might not be stuck with McCain now. So thanks Fred.
Now that Fred has zero chance of being President himself, he tries his best to inspire the people for McCain and to make the argument McCain has [...]
rnc: the end and the beginning
There were three major storylines at the RNC today that had nothing to do with Sarah Palin. The first was the ceremonial end of the Bush era.

the problem with fred
I’m sure Fred Thompson is a good guy. I’m also sure that there were many persuasive people telling him that he could be the one to save the GOP from Rudy McRomney, and no doubt Thompson is more conservative in some areas than the current top three. But it’s fair to say that there was [...]
