PRESIDENT THOMPSON
NW Republican ^ | April 25, 2007 | I am Coyote

Posted on 04/25/2007 9:51:07 AM PDT by APRPEH

Ok there, I said it. As far as I know (I mean I have not googled the phrase or anything) I may be the first one to say it publicly and truly mean it. It has a nice ring to it doesn't it? Well... Get used to it.

Think about this for a second. Thompson is going to run, all bulletins point that direction. When he gets in the primary all the polls seem to indicate he will quickly eclipse the Republican field. Like it or not (supporters of other candidates) there was a recent poll that showed that 4 out of ten Republican primary voters just were not happy with the current field. Oh sure they will vote for some of the others in a straw poll, but most readers of NWR understand the difference between deep support and broad shallow support.

Some in the conservative opinion world have attempted to take a mild swipe at Thompson. What happened? Well by golly Thompson swiped back and did so in a thoughtful and witty way. Maggie Gallagher deftly describes the exchange between Thompson and the "fourth wall."

I can’t get behind anyone that supported McCain-Feingold, I especially can’t get behind anyone that McCain said was instrumental in getting that hunk of crap passed. Just can’t do it. I don’t care if they said later it was a mistake

,

I’m not asking for any kind of litmus test at all.

'cos you've already got one.

From what I read the fact that he is a neocon globalist isn’t exactly a good thing.Some have mentioned that his wife will not be an asset as a First Lady. Of course our current First lady with her Grace and class will be a hard act to follow.

I am looking at Duncan Hunter at the moment. Surely we will have more candidates to choose from when it comes down to it.

That’s not a litmus test for his friends.

Problem with Duncan is he’s polling within the margin of error most of the time. He might have all the right positions but so far his campaign is a non-starter.

His wife has been involved with Republican politics for some time now.
