A good read. There's some interesting bits about Fred and Newt, too.

Some very good advice from Martha Zoller for Gov. Romney:
"Here's some advice for Mitt Romney in Iowa, New Hampshire and the rest of the country. Keep to the War on Terror message that you espoused on Tuesday night in Columbia, South Carolina. Shout from the roof tops about your views on illegal immigration, demonstrate how you will make government smaller and make sure every Republican voter in America knows your business background and you could win the nomination."

The biggest surprise of this convention is 40 sitting Republican elected officials, including the President Pro Tem of the Georgia Senate, Eric Johnson, endorsed Fred Thompson for President.

I don't know why this would be a surprise, let alone a big surprise.

We tend to support people who and sound like us. Thompson is a fine, plain-spoken southern gentleman with rock-solid social conservative values. That is bound to resonate with other southern social conservatives.

Northeasterner Mitt has a long uphill slog to win the support of southern conservatives. But if he is to have any chance at the presidency, he has got to succeed with them.

I never understood how Rudy! got this reputation as a “foreign policy expert.” Everything that comes out of his mouth is merely superficial or a repeat of his 9/11 speech.

“border with Turkey be destabilized by virtue of the Kurdish effort”

The next President better crush any Turkish efforts to move on Kurdistan, as I suspect they’d be advised to do such. Nice to know he has somewhat of a grip of a couple of the dynamics there.
