The Demise of the Politics Forum Action.

I'm not being melodramatic, but I am a bit saddened at the demise of this place. It was easily the most entertaining place on VN.

Guess we'll rekindle it in a few years when everyone has roughly 100k posts to their names and Fred Thompson is running against Barack.

He would be a great candidate for the conservatives, I just don't think he is motivated enough to do it.

I was hoping his campaign would gain some momentum, because he is one conservative I would vote for in a heartbeat.

Tell me, BPV, being a conservative, who would you rather have representing the republican party in Washington, Fred Thompson or Sarah Palin?

Not pretending to know you, but somehow I am confident who you will choose

Thompson and it's not close. I've never espoused Palin as the best the Repubs had to offer, but I do think she did something for McCain that he couldn't do himself - generate buzz. She did it and the economy crushed everything she added. Her inexperience finished the job, no question about it.

BPV the demise of this forum does not compare to the demise of the football team.
