What Is Goin’ On?

Sen. Chip Rogers (R-21) has just accepted the position as Executive Director of presidential hopeful, Fred Thompson’s Georgia campaign. In this interveiw I try to get Chip to tell us Georgians why Fred is the man.

We cover the issues from the Iraq War (which Chip still likes to call that War on Terror!), to yesterdays defeat of the Democrat’s effort to do something to bring the troops home for a rest, to immigration, to health care and then throw in a few Georgia topics as well.

Red state, red state, red state. I don’t want to give up the fight for the Democrats in ‘08, but Fred is going to be tough to beat in this state–unless he makes a mistake, maybe a big one at that.

At least Chip and I both hope that Fred’s entry into the race will diffuse some of the divisive issues that have monopolized state and federal politics too much since the 2000 race. You know the ones: abortion, gay rights, religion and the like, all issues which this country needs to solve in some manner, once and for all.
