After 2010, Thune plans on raising his national profile. David Brooks wants a Mitch Daniels/ Thune ticket. Thune’s okay.
The Utah Convention process is a glorified straw poll. In a regular primary with a broader electorate, Bennett might have survived or a least kept it close. He would have not finished a pathetic third.
Thune is better than “ok”, he’s more conservative than some of these pseudo-conservatives running the party.
Proper freeper response to Senators for being a 1) HUGE McCain fan, 2) betraying us on a MAJOR issue (conservative confirmations, drilling, amnesty, etc.), 3) getting all giggy about being “bipartisan”
1) John McCain himself = DEATH in the next primary
2) Lindsey Graham = DEATH by ANY means possible!!
3) Bob Bennett = not sure if he's a McCain fan, but DEATH anyway!!
3 Lisa Murkowski = “shrugs”
4) Joe Lieberman = send him more campaign contributions and knock on doors for him
5) Fred Thompson = give him a promotion to President!!
6) John Thune = give him a promotion to President!!
Seems the proper response varies alot on these “inexcusable” issues.
