Georgians for Fred Thompson

Bob Novak shares some of his thoughts on Fred Thompson. 

“The Connecticut Republicans, down to one seat in Congress after 2006 election losses, cheered when Thompson told them: “I think the biggest problem we have today is what I believe is the disconnect between Washington, D.C., and the people of the United States. People are looking around at the pork barrel spending and the petty politics, the backbiting. The fighting over all things, large or small, is creating a cynicism among our people.” That cynicism, Thompson contends, mandates a different kind of campaign for 2008.”
