Thompson made a big mistake in waiting so long to get in. Unfortunately, we are confronted with a lackluster slate of candidates. We’ve just got to choose the one who has the best chance of beating Hillary—for the good of the country. Otherwise we might as well kiss the American dream goodbye.

Agreed. The Fred heads will scream conspiracy, MSM RNC bias etc.

I'm looking forward to a few debates with the big three and then the voters will decide.

Speaking of debates. I was watching the Chris Matthews show tonight (actually I was flipping through the channels and came across it by chance) and Chris and the panel were saying that it was a huge mistake for the GOP top tier candidates to avoid the Black sponsored debate held recently.

Can anyone make me feel better and tell me why it was not a mistake? Doesn't the GOP need every vote they can get? Why discount a large group of voters?

Don’t count on Fred being in any of those debates. He ducked the two that came after he announced. He ducked those that came before. The GOP has made grievous errors in this process. I’m afraid that the end result will be four years of Hillary.

But the likelihood is that Hillary will screw up so badly that the conservatives will take a majority in 2010, though maybe not under the banner of the GOP. So maybe not all is lost.
