Liberal, Inexperience

Does anyone remember the philosophical differences between the political parties? It's not a bad idea for the GOP to use its convention as a reminder. Which Fred Thompson did last night.

Thompson - who ran for president this year and failed -- described presumptive Republican nominee John McCain's service to his country and laid into the Democrats, calling presidential nominee Barack Obama the "most liberal, most inexperienced nominee to ever run for president."

While it's debatable whether Barack comes in first in either of those categories, the debate represents a major vulnerability for Barack. Through the fall, as voters learn more about Barack's partnership with folks like Bill Ayers (co-founder of the Weathermen domestic terror organization) and Reverends Wright and Pfleger, the accusation should take on greater meaning.
