Jack Kemp RIP

Jack Kemp passed away yesterday. Kemp was one of my earliest conservative heroes. He would have been a better nominee in 1988 than George HW Bush, and a Kemp-Dole ticket would have been much more attractive in 1996 than Dole-Kemp. Kemp was a true believer in conservative economic philosophy. He was also a gentleman. And oh yeah, he played pretty good quarterback too. God bless his family.

    Yeah, he will be missed. He was one of the good guys, IMO.

    I can think of no other living Republican who could sincerely write something like this.

    A sad day. If only he had run this time.
