Mary Matalin; unpaid advisor, Lawrence B. Lindsey; Bush 43 economic advisor, Thomas J. Collamore; a former aide to the vice president H.W. Bush, and Michael Turk, who helped Bush 43 in his reelection campaign.....
I was getting excited about Thompson but with all these Bush people I'm
Ugh. And I still worry about the Thompson/McCain relationship of the past. I don’t know. I am going to give the most weight to his voting record, second to his older columns, third to the kind of support he attracts, and last to his current statements (always suspect when a person wants power in return). We will see. I am still listening and watching. So far he still far and away beats Rudy McRomney. Since he is showing great promise, he is bound to attract some of those people who make their living by attaching themselves to power (Matalin and others).
And worth every penny.
LOL
That said, I actually liked Lindsey, but he is the kind of guy who needs to stay off camera and away from the media, and just talk economics, he is a strong supply side guy.
The most important guy on that staff to me though is David McIntosh. He seals the deal for Thompson being a conservative, you don't go out and manage to pull of one of the founders of the federalist society, and a man who had a lifetime 100 ACU rating by being anything but pure, and alot of candidates were trying to get him.
Stephen Root is the best character actor working today.
