Just give Fred the nomination...

Newsmax.com reporting:

Mary Matalin, former counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney, is joining likely presidential candidate Fred Thompson’s team and will serve as an unpaid adviser.

That pretty much settles it, doesn't it?  He can't lose now :-)

Go Fred Mary will help bring in a broader group of people. She will also bring in some organization to the campaign.

That was painless. I just signed up half of champaign county, just kidding. Hey it didn't take but a second and they sent a confirmation email instantly.

More ammo - Trent Lott likes McCain (there's an endorsement that will carry a lot of weight with conservatives - not)

Hapless, I read the Rubin article and was wondering if she had read FDT's stuff.  He's written extensively also about the incompetence of the bureaucracy, federalism, taking on the unfunded liabilities of our entitlement system.  In focusing on some of his writings to the exclusion of others, she's unfairly slammed him.  Here is a lot more that Thompson has done in the last few months and the list of issues he takes on is a lot more than Rubin gives him credit for.

Thanks, Mark.  I'll give it a good read.

Tommy Thompson, at the debate last night:

We got to make sure that we really are conservatives. If we're going to spend money like as foolishly and as stupidly as the Democrats, the voters are going to vote for the professional spender, the Democrat, not the amateur spender, the Republican.

I agree 100%.  (see Medicare drug plan as exhibit A)

Thanks for the info on Mary Matalin... I wasn't aware how she is involved now.

lol on your comment after that news piece, in this entry   ;-)

 

Fred Thompson looks like he'll make it official....
