Bench marks: McCain, the GOP, and judges
Michelle ran this yesterday and I don't really care about the bulk of the article. What is interesting is the last sentence of this clip: "I’m honored to be here, and I brought along a friend. I’m sure you’ll recognize him — my pal, Senator Fred Thompson of Tennessee."
Does this mean Fred is a contendor for the VP slot? I sure hope so. Fred will be a real asset to the Republical ticket and a definate help to "Loose Cannon" McCain.

Bench marks: McCain, the GOP, and judges
By Michelle Malkin May 6, 2008 10:00 AM
The judicial debate will heat up this morning on two fronts: At 10am, McCain addresses the subject at Wake Forest University. Minutes later, GOP Sen. John Cornyn will speak on the Senate floor. Sen. Cornyn “will note that the simple fact thus far during President Bush’s final two years in office is that there have been a record low number of federal judges approved by this Senate. Since Democrats took over the Senate in 2007, a total of 7 circuit court judges have been approved—and only one this year.”
Here are McCain’s prepared remarks.
Questions for discussion: Do you trust him? Can you trust him?
***
ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain will deliver the following remarks as prepared for delivery at Wake Forest University, in Winston-Salem, NC, today at 10:00 a.m. EDT:
Thank you, Ted, and thank you all very much. Dr. Hatch, I’m grateful for your invitation to this great university. And Senator Richard Burr, thank you for that warm welcome to North Carolina and to Wait Chapel. I’m honored to be here, and I brought along a friend. I’m sure you’ll recognize him — my pal, Senator Fred Thompson of Tennessee.
