Thompson In
If you believe this report – and we do – former Sen. Fred Thompson will indeed throw his hat in the ring for president of the United States. As many readers of the GOPNation.com know, we endorsed Thompson, believing he is the best candidate at the right time to maintain the White House for the GOP. An Thompson entry would shake up the Republican primary process almost immediately and in our opinion, cause one or two GOP candidates to withdrawel from the race before the end of summer. Stay tuned.
Gingrich Getting Closer
Meanwhile, it looks like former GOP Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is getting ever closer to his own race for the presidency. In what can only be described as the must-read story of this early week, the New Yorker’s Jeffrey Goldberg paints a GOP in turmoil with its leaders (including Gingrich) at each other’s throats over the party’s losses in 2006 and dwindling chances in 2008. Expect lots of Rove bashing in this piece.
Zoellick at World Bank
President Bush is expected to name deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick to head the World Bank. Zoellick would replace the disgraced Paul Wolfowitz who resigned last week. Hmm, another Bush crony in another plum position. Yeah, that will work out.
Did you hear?
The mainstream press didn’t tell you but we will: gas prices have started to fall, thanks in part to higher inventories and of course, the passage of Memorial Day. Today’s average stands at 3.197/gallon – down 3 cents from the high set on May 24. Don’t worry, any Fourth of July increase will surely be reported as a price surge by the press, no matter how much the prices fall between now and then.
Drudge Headline of the Day
Gotta love this: “I Saw The Climate Change”, describing Nancy Pelosi’s reaction to her recent trip to Greenland. Classic liberalism.

It would be a great opportunity for this guy with a southern accent to garner media attention as a "New Yorker," too.
Good Choice!...........But if Hellery! is the (D) choice, then we’ll need someone like Condi........
Thompson will gather his support from the McCain/Tancredo/Hunter supporters, leaving a three-way race into the February primaries between Giuliani, Romney, and Thompson...should be interesting.
So you know that there is a link on your page that takes us to a place that describes President Bush’s election as illegitamate?
Michael Steele could do the job.
I won’t bank on anything until I hear straight from the horse’s mouth, sort to speak. Let’s let the man tell us himself before we go celebrating.
Could they start now? (only half kidding)
The Pride of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee
What do you mean “pact?” I’m beginning to think she’s the devil’s hand man.
LOL...I was thinking the same thing!
Ha! I live on Fred Street. Really! :)
Michael Steele could do the job.......Another Good Choice!..........But I’m thinking we’ll need a woman on the ticket to counter all of Hellery!s lies and obfuscations by telling us all how a “woman feels”........about issues, that is (!).....
If Hitlery runs this will be a cake walk for Thompson. There will be so many people not wanting her in offie that they’ll either not vote for her or vote for her opponent.
Opps. forgot the word “right” as in “right hand man”
Never assme you know what your enemy is thinking..........Sun Tzhu The Art of War........ca. 2500 BC
Good versus evil. It seems the past 3 or 4 elections have been just that.
oops! 2500 BC = 2500 years ago, 500 BC!......
THAT would not be a race.
