One last post for now. On Thompson, I have in recent days made a key phone call whose contents now allow me to put my reputation on the line: He is terrific. Please, everybody, hold your fire on him until you see who the people are who are front and center singing his praises if he is nominated. I write as the guy who was the first and the most consistent in rallying conservatives behind the great Bill Pryor in major public fora -- NRO, the Wall Street Journal, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, my own Mobile Register, the SHreveport Journal, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette..... so I hope my judgment is deserving of a little respect. And I can say that what I was told this week about Thompson, as a lawyer and as a man, makes me very, very confident. Please don't make the mistake I made several days ago of just writing him off as a Bush insider; he is NOT an insider in the Gonzo/Miers sense, but merely a guy who mightily impressed Bush once he got into the administration, but whose own record, well apart from any Bush influence, is stellar.
