Fred Thompson could also share with Sarah Palin his insight on the pitfalls of being characterized as "the next Reagan." It comes with a set of expectations that no one, not even Ronald Reagan himself in this day and age, could possibly satisfy.

Excellent idea Josh.

I agree with the author. Fred can write and deliver conservative content as well as anyone. He ran for President about 12 years too late, when he no longer had the energy to electrify a crowd.

Sarah is just coming into her prime and Fred could help move her to the next level.

I see that all the “usual suspects” showed up to bash Fred.

“Sarah Palin should hire Fred Thompson”

Translation: Gov. Palin is so stupid she needs loser Thompson’s help.

Man!!! If this doesn’t make me angry.

She’s a wonderful person - but she should hire the best speaking coach there is. As sad as it is, any contender should do that. In this age of media overkill - the winner is the one who is savvy wnough to know the tricks and possess the skills of debate.

The next conservative GOP candidate will have to be a great debater-—as sharp as Alan Keyes - but electable.

"Raise your children so none of them turn out like Ron Reagan Junior...

Comments like that are why I'm not a Coulter fan. I like her politics most of the time, but I don't like her arrogance.

If Governor Palin wishes to pursue further national political ambitions there are many knowledgeable individuals whose expertise would benefit her. Fred Thompson is certainly one. So is John Bolton. The late Paul Weyrich would have been another. Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams should not be omitted, either. I could go on and on, of course...

For help in developing a public demeanor of sheer devastating effectiveness in handling the media and other pompous critics, however, she should consider hanging around with Ted Nugent and Dennis Miller... /g

Am sure Gov. Palin still has her contacts from the campaign such as one of her advisors, former UN Amb. and conservative John Boulton.

Fred is a nice guy by he is from another generation and not where we are now especially with attacks, and event changes at split second speed.

Anyways, Fred has said he is going back to acting.

Coulter is a Romney hack. Let the Governor run in 2012.

Instead, Palin should spend the next 8 or 12 years reading the Federalist Papers and other important political works, Coulter said.

:) Thanks, Ann!

I assume Ms Coulter is not charging for this PR advice, either.
