If anyone is going to stand up to Chris Matthews, it’ll be Fred Thompson. See here. Will Nehs and I don’t understand why the Republican candidates aren’t portraying the Democrat candidates as the egalitarians, cosmopolitans, and pacifists they are. Are they afraid that if they attack Hillary Clinton, it will be perceived as ungentlemanly? If so, then I have news for them: They’re not going to win the nomination, much less the general election. She needs to be attacked relentlessly and mercilessly, starting now. This is politics, not ballroom dancing.
