Some months back, I predicted that it would be Fred Thompson and
John Edwards squaring off for the White House in November. I
figured that Thompson most appealed to the GOP's conservative base
and that smart Dems would realize that Hillary was too polarizing
and Obama too young.
Now it seems that Republicans will be forced to choose between a
maverick and a convert, while the Dems look to be heading toward
choosing another dance with Clinton & Co. rather than going
with the black knight of the new Camelot.
While I hold out great hope that McCain will soon run out of
Independents and (sad to say) retired military veterans to support him, I fear
that unless Romney starts to substantially connect with the
conservative base in a forceful way, we will be left with the
dreary prospect of a Clinton vs McCain contest.
But hey, I've been wrong before!
