I doubt he'd be able to mount much of a candidacy but I will say that I love watching him on Law and Order! His character is the anti-Nifong.

I still like Hunter better but Thompson has the all important name recognition they keep telling us about. A Thompson/Hunter ticket would certainly give Hunter the name recognition for the future.

I do like Thompson better than any of the front runners out there now.

More to come? I hope so. Rudolph Neut McRomney is a waste for conservatives.

Adequately financed, he would be a formidable candidate. He surely has helped McCain, Libby and a SCOTUS candidate--Roberts. He has the underlying political contacts and service to others a successful candidate needs.

He has no real liabilities on the social issues except for a late life divorce. I think he is in his middle sixties so he is at least four years younger than McCain.

We could do worse but I do not think any better. He has had a life before and after the Senate so he is exceptional in that respect.

I am a Thompson supporter...
Word is he will make his announcement this Sunday on Fox News Sunday.

I'm looking forward to having someone to campaign for.

Does anybody remember Fred Thompson's first acting job? It was a TV movie called "Marie:A True Story" about a young woman who exposed corruption in the Tennessee Governor's office with the help of a lawyer named Fred Thompson. The lawyer was played by Fred Thompson.

Considering the current list of republican candidates … Fred would be an improvement.

Love Freddy T...he's got that Grandfather feel that Reagan had for me when I was young. Thompson could well help to influence another generation of young minds in the school systems...not to mention he'd be an outstanding POTUS. His powerful and recognizable voice would lend credance to the message during this War.

He has my full support and I would campaign for and donate to him in a heartbeat.

Here's the description for Fred's appearance on Chris Wallace's Sunday show, from http://tvlistings4.zap2it.com :

"Former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) talks about his chances of becoming president"

McCain and Thompson are two peas in a pod. Look for McCain to drop out if Thompson enters.

Thompson--McCain's national campaign co-chair in 2000--wasn't just a key sponsor of McCain-Feingold, he secured the support from both parties to enable its passage.

We might as well have President McCain.

Fine with me, but lets not pretend that he is good on sovereignty.

The number could grow when Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel makes an announcement on his future plans.

The media will LOVE Hagel, and give him maximum coverage as a hand-grenade thrown into the GOP debates. The man is a despicable creep.
