I admire and respect Newt. He was magnificent for a short time in the 90s. I just cannot see him as the political leader of the Republican party. The intellectual leader? perhaps.
Conservatives (republicans) need a man (any women out there?) who can excite and re-energize the soul of America...the masses...the average American who tries to keep heart and soul together. Who fights our wars. Who cares not for Sunday morning politics on TV. Reagan was able to do that. There are other Reagans out there. Maybe Thompson has the right stuff the gumption and the street smarts to mobilize the conservative troops. I think he does.
McCain tried but does not. Rudy does not. Romney does not.
If he only was one.
Fred is a moderate liberal Republican, in the mold of his friends and closest political allies John McCain, Chuck Hagel, Howard Baker and Lamar Alexander.
The Sandy Berger affair.. google it or research it here at Free republic..

How about President Fred Thompson with Rudy as VP , Newt as Chief of Staff, Tancredo as head of Homeland Security, John Bolton back to the United Nations, and Duncan Hunter in there someplace. I cannot come up with a brainstorm for Sec of State of Sec Def. Help me!!
