Then all the gnashing of teeth from those who argue that McCain is absolutely unacceptable will promptly be forgotten as the inclusion of Fred! on the ticket suddenly demonstrates McCain's genuine commitment to conservative ideals, or something.
Oh, and Fredstate assures us, it's not the end for Fred Thompson. Stage 1: denial...
