Fred Thompson is shaking up the GOP presidential field. And he's not even running yet.

NEW YORK--"Expect her to recount every moment of her ordeal," the savvy district attorney mused to his deputy. "There won't be a dry eye in the jury."
"That's a take!" says a director of the hit NBC series "Law and Order." With that, Fred Thompson, the former U.S. senator from Tennessee who has played "strict constructionist" prosecutor Arthur Branch for the past four years, walks back with me to his dressing room to talk about a new role he might soon be undertaking: surprise Republican presidential candidate.

Yep, and since they get some money from me... I figure I'll sit and wait... And smart candidates might as well...

President Fred Thompson........hmmmmmmmm.....has a nice ring to it.
The perfect ticket....Thompson/Watts....what do y'all think
Obviously nothing is "clear" to you; least of all who likes me , who doesn't, and whether it matters to me or not. :-)
I'm good for a few $$s
I could see that ticket...
/johnny
OTOH, I don't want him to be president either; nor do I want him to be the VEEP, with Hillary as president. That is far more likely the ticket, than Hillary and Obama.
Fred has flaws, sure, but he's better than Rudy in every possible aspect - can you dispute that?
Worry about your family; baby.
Bringing in someone else's family, to trash, is not only bad taste, but proves just what and who you are; none of it any good.
But my family are all fine and doing very well. Nor would CPS be particularly interested in an adult; baby.
But that doesn't mean I have to do anything now... but wait...
The election is a long time off...
We (us, a free repubic) will win in the long run. Even if we elect a tyrany...We'll figure it out again.
/johnny
Well, that's nice, but since you are unable to donate the $500 million needed to win the primary, waiting, isn't what any real candidate should be doing now.
Yes, I can, but why don't you do your own scut work? :-)
"and aren't impressed by the fact that he's an actor with a good voice."
You'd better be, unless you want to start saying President Clinton, again....
The greatest problem Republicans have had in the last 6+ years is an inability to deliver a coherent message...
I don't want the libertarian or republican fights over until the demos have picked a loser.
Slow down, son... it'll be ok.. And we'll kick the collective's ass one more time.
/johnny
And Richardson has ALWAYS been there to be Hillary's VEEP.
Of course, should Obama really jeeps on being pushed, unless Hillary is planning on another Fort Marcy Park incident, he just might the Dems' nominee.
Oh please........FR has NOTHING at all to "do" in the scheme of things; no power whatsoever. The ONLY thing that will be done here, is what was done when Bill Clinton was president...grumbling.
You sure hate this site.
I did and didn't find any way where Rudy's better than Thompson. So, I'm asking your reasoning.
I don't think Fred Thompson is a Great White Hope but certainly better than anyone in the field right now.
