An exercise in futility. Your asking Fred Thompson supporters to justify their support on the theory if they can’t point to some subjective reason they should not be supporting him. Lets come from the other direction Mitt Romney has pretty much the same qualifications as Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. What should we make of that? Nothing of course. Fred Thompson strikes me as a leader and brings conservative credentials that are more solid than the other candidates. I have nothing negative to say about Mitt Romney and would vote for him if he is nominated but he’s been on the campaign trail from the get go and is still a distant third.
Conservative credentials as in voting record? Anything stand out in terms of accomplishments?
