Kristol: A Case for Fred?

I pass this along from a friend who favors Thompson:

Read Fred’s op-ed in today’s Des Moines Register, ‘Reclaim greatness: Lower taxes. Enforce laws.’ It’s excellent. Watch the Thompson campaign’s new 2-minute web video, ‘Revolution,’ at http://fred08.com. It’s terrific. Think about the alternatives to Fred. Really … does the Republican party, a principled conservative party, at a time when the nation’s at war, want to nominate a moderate one-term governor who’s trying to buy the nomination, a temperamental liberal New York City mayor, or a smooth-talking governor-preacher with no foreign policy experience? If McCain can’t make it, serious Republicans will end up going with a grown-up, experienced, knowledgeable, and consistent conservative – Fred. Watch for his numbers to move in December.

Without endorsing his unfair jabs at the others, I’d say: My friend could be right. If you can get good enough odds, bet McCain or Thompson.
