Talking like George W. Bush = similar accent. Similar swagger.

We’re far better off as a party nominating someone who doesn’t at all even remotely resemble Bush in the upcoming election. I think that goes without saying.

That said, Thompson can deliver a good speech on a far more regular basis than Bush, who really left us all biting nails (though he would rise to the occasion on an important one). He’s obviously his own man.

And actually, Bush did speak on federalism and addressed it on rare (too rare) occasions.

The compassionate conservativism will hopefully die this election. I don’t see anyone endorsing save perhaps Huckabee and Hunter.

An interesting read on W and federsalism, if you’re interested and into tracking down journal articles:

I agree, we need an intelligent, articulate conservative who advocates persuasively and non-threateningly for limited federal government.

Fred is all of that, Bush is almost none.
