Very well said. I like Fred Thompson, but he doesn't want the job enough to get noticed by the average voter (not a flaw in the man, but a fatal flaw in a candidate). Like you, I expect Palin to run, and I think she has a good chance of winning ... unless elections are suspended for the duration of the "crisis" once Obama/Pelosi see that socialism isn't as popular with the living as it is with ACORN's dead voters. As several others have mentioned though, I'm far more concerned for now with 2010. We need conservatives running, which means they need to be getting their campaigns set up now. I am funding several of them - generously - and I hope other Freepers are putting their money behind the drive to take back an America that follows the Constitution.
I agree completely. We need to make sure we are running conservative alternatives to the current crop of legislators in 2010.
