NO ONE MENTIONED RUSSERT's FALSE AFFIDAVIT. Maybe I'm making too much of it.

Fred Thompson sure heavily alluded to it .. I wish he'd mentioned bigheadtim by name, but the message was there. Fred's cool .. he's being very savvy and not inflicting any wounds ... yet.

Run, Fred, Run!

I've got to start taking a hard look at Fred Thompson - he's the one possible candidate I could get excited about if he chooses to run. I've been leaning (very reluctantly) toward Guiliani, mainly because there is no way that I would ever vote for John McCain, and frankly, Romney, Gingrich, Hunter and the rest have no chance at winning the nomination (or the election).

But even my very reluctant lean toward Guiliani has always been tempered with the knowledge that it's still extremely early in the process and that there's a chance that someone better than Guiliani could come along. From what I've heard from Thompson so far, he could be that guy, if only he would run.
