Fred Thompson former presidential candidate had this to say about Palin on CNN this a.m. She is an excellent choice. She is just what we needed. Someone with integrity. Outside the beltway.Thirteen years experience in Government which I better than the Democratic opponent has. A women with life experience who has five children, is a rugged outdoors person with a son going into the military. She has it all. John McCain's choice is just a perfect fit for John. And as far as anyone worrying about his not fulfilling his present term, has anyone tried to keep up with John ? He our does us all. His mother is 91 and will be at the convention.

It just looks like the Conservative Republican blood has run thin - like the progeny of a very old family of wealth and power, no longer able to produce viable successors. Their spokepersons - Coulter, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Kristal - are all paid shills. Their demographic is, increasingly, the coalition of the old and frightened-of-change. The republicans have had to resort to candidates who are front men and cyphers - like george bush - willing to be controlled by their elders (the shadowy neocons) in exchange for receiving the support of the RNC machinery to attain power. But it is good not to forget that these liars and manipulators are very good at what they do. After all, they proved in 2000 that they could get a bar stool elected president: a man who - without his family wealth and connections - would have gone to a community college and graduated, barely; would eventually become a middle manager at a Stuckies. So, one day, the Plain Truth Express stopped running. It was later found in a swampy ditch, tires stripped, windows broken, with a note taped to the door saying "Just kidding. J.mC." Shortly thereafter, John McCain became the Republican Presidential candidate. Quid pro quo.
