Demo Outlook Actually, the Dems are desperate because they really have nothing of substance to offer except coddling to the 15% kook base, the poor they wish to appease but keep poor and the illegals in and entering the country whose votes they wish to garner. What you can be assured of is higher taxes; more wasteful spending on loser programs and a serious decrease in national security. Obama open to meeting with the likes of Castro; Chavez etc? You can’t negotiate with these kooks. Matter of fact, I think Obama would sell this country out. I did have to chuckle about the Billary cleavage controversy. It was more of a minor fissure, a baby’s butt crack shot than a cleavage. The MSM keeps the heat on but there are simply NO Demos who seem to have ANYTHING on the ball in a macro sense. If all they have is get our troops out of Iraq; raise the minimum wage; and redistribution of wealth via taxes, they don’t really have a viable platform to run on. The Dems routinely count on the union vote but what they fail to understand is many union members invest in the stock market, have 401-K’s and will take a dim view of having to pay higher taxes to support the warts of society.

Found this flashy looking website while trying to find more information about a Thompson/Gingrich alliance. Fred Thompson and Newt Gingrich Working Together, Sources Say Newt Gingrich’s long, slow striptease over whether he will seek the presidency in 2008 looks like it might come to an unexpected conclusion: a date with Fred Thompson. Publicly, Gingrich has been sending signals making clear that a presidential candidacy for him is becoming less likely. Privately, he and some of his closest advisers have been meeting with — and, in at least one prominent case, going to work for — the lobbyist-actor and former Tennessee senator. The same day that Gingrich made his comments, his former communications director, Rich Galen, disclosed that he had signed on as an adviser to Thompson’s campaign in waiting. In an interview, Galen termed the coincidence “an unfortunate confluence of events,” denying that there was any link. But that was not the only evidence of a possible Thompson-Gingrich alliance in 2008. Gingrich and his wife, Calista, had dinner with Thompson and his wife, Jeri, at the former senator’s home in McLean, Va., on July 16, according to two Republican sources close to both men. A Thompson aide would say only that “a good policy discussion” was had over the meal. If a Gingrich endorsement of Thompson happens, it probably won’t be until at least October. For one thing, Thompson isn’t likely to formally announce his candidacy until after Labor Day. But Gingrich has also said repeatedly that he would hold off any decision until after he marks the 13th anniversary of the Contract With America — the manifesto that spurred the GOP takeover of the House in 1994 — by holding an online policy seminar in late September. race42008.com
