Let’s not forget da fence

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

This guy picks Fred Thompson for November, emphasizing (guess what?) defense, the ever-present Dem weak point:

Why will he win? Because there are only three candidates who are strong on defense yet do not offend many Republicans: Giuliani, Romney, and Thompson. Of these three, Giuliani seems to be stumbling badly and Romney is stumbling badly enough to give an opening to Thompson.

Robert Frost said it ironically, but fences are important.

  1. First place should go to Duncan Hunter, but he is ignored by the media, so has no chance — he is a true conservative and has sons serving in the military.

    However, Thompson is the most openly conservative in the race at present. I hope Eric is right.
