McCain should certainly meet with Fred, but if he wants to solidify his campaign he needs Fred on board as VP. Fred on the ticket would bring along many Romney and Huckabee followers. In addition to his conservative credentials Fred brings likeability, pseudo star power and a connection to the Federalist Society. It is reasonable to assume that McCain would listen to Fred, not necessarily buy his ideas, but the right would be comforted that Fred is "looking over the man's shoulder."

Fred is credible to a substantial portion of the evangelical community, right to life community, and Southern-Western and border state constituencies.

If McCain and Thompson could reach a meeting of the minds, the conservative revolt would end overnight. Ongoing consultations should continue, however, no public statements should be made for a few weeks, after the "Rush" folks stew for a while over the reality that the nominee is going to be McCain and he will go up against either the #1 liberal democrat (Obama) or #12 democrat (Clinton) (from National Journal). Rush and Sean need to take their eyes off the microscopes and take a look at the big picture.

p>These two would be a formidable team to go against either of the Dem "teams." Most independents would relate to either McCain or Thompson, especially once they realize the very palpable danger on the left. Although Obama is now a bit of an enigma, they would totally blow away Hillary. br> -- Steve Heine br> Cambridge, Ohio /p> p> I don't care whose blessing McCain gets. I still don't trust him or like him. He's a bitter, petty maniac who prefers the liberals and the media over his own party. Even the thought of Hillary in the White House is not a good enough reason to vote for McCain. br> -- Kitty Myers br> Painted Post, New York /p> p> Hillary's rookie mistake: She hung onto Bill's coattails too long, thank the deities.
