I support Thompson but I sure wish he would have kept the Bush people at arms length.

Not to worry.

Like any professional sports team trying to win the championship, it's common sense to sign all-star players the closer you get to the 'regular season'.

Nobody can refute the positive accomplishments of Bush's campaign managers...so IMO, this shouldn't be viewed as anything negative...regardless of how the NYT spins it.

Thompson is smart to not declare until the field narrows...especially given he's the top choice in several polls without having to abide by rules, and oversight.

You mean the folks who helped get Bush elected through two tumultuous and difficult national campaigns? Who better for him to use? They obviously know how its done.

I sure wish he would have kept Spencer Abaham out of sight and out of mind.
