The rumors are flying that Bill Kristol’s probable choice for his independent bid is conservative lawyer, veteran, and National Review writer David French. I don’t know either David or Bill personally and I have no inside information about whether these rumors are true.
….
If it really is French, it is now up to him as to what effect his candidacy will have on the race. The attention that’s been focused on Kristol and his effort thus far means that he is going to get some amount of media attention. What he does with it, and what impression he makes on people in the first week of his run, will go a long way towards indicating that he is a serious person and a serious candidate. And before anyone brushes this effort off as frivolous and irrelevant, we already know that French is at least ten times more serious of a person than Donald Trump, and he’s a major party’s nominee.
I guess some are determined not to give French a shot on the basis that he can’t possibly win. Personally, I could not care less. A realistic chance of anyone who deserves the office winning left the building a long time ago.
I don’t have a duty or obligation of any kind to vote for a candidate who might win. The only duty I have – to myself or anyone else – is to vote for the candidate who is most deserving of my vote. Hell, by the time election day of 2008 rolled around, McCain had no chance, and we all voted for him, didn’t we?

At this point almost any sensible intervention of the course we are currently running would be welcomed. This French guy at least on the surface seems to be a reasonable alternative, it would be nice to have someone to vote for, but after all I’ve seen thus far I remain highly skeptical if for no other reason than Kristol is involved. Besides if I am to believe what I’ve been reading he is not interested in wading through the slough of corruption, liars, varied perversions, maniacs and media supported false accusation. We shall see!
I’ll watch to see what happens. He sounds good, but this is late in the game.
Pray for righteousness to be restored and for the peace of Jerusalem
