The media would come all over themselves in an Orgy of Bush bashing... the Dems would get it in a cake walk...
I understand your point, but whoever Thompson picks to be his VP the media (print and most tv) are gonna do everything in their power to tear 'em down. If the leftocrats nominated someone "reasonable" like Richardson I'd worry....and hope Thompson selects someone with no ties to the Bush administration. But since the dems are essentially controlled by far-left
loons they'll almost certainly nominate hillary or obama...neither of which stand a chance nationally, IMO.
