In an article ostensibly about the Right's disappointment in the GOP, Richard Land continues to serve as Fred Thomspon's number one fan: "If they take the abortion issue off the table [by nominating Giuliani], then other issues get oxygen like economic justice and the environment. They will have given the Democratic candidate a license to go after evangelicals on those issues ... Once a social conservative is competitive against Hillary, the voters will drop off Giuliani like fleas off a dead dog. At this moment, it's Fred Thompson's race to lose."
