If he runs, I think it just may be Thompson.
He's a good speaker - and would make a good candidate. And, more to the point, I think he's the one candidate who would be acceptable to a majority of the party and outright unacceptable to, well, pretty much no one.

His first statement needs to be that he changed his mind on McCain Feingold even if McCain is still in the race.

J.C. Watts, an Oklahoma congressman from 1995 to 2003, has endorsed him: "I define Fred Thompson as AC, what's AC? All class." Good development.

I hope he runs. The more the better. Nothing like igniting the GOP with a full field of candidates.

Giuliani, McCain and Romney will not get my vote. I'll vote third party if one of those three become the nominee. Thompson I can live with.

Mr. Thompson has also been criticized for failing to back some comprehensive tort-reform bills because of his background as a trial lawyer. Here he insists his stance was based on grounds of federalism. "I'm consistent. I address Federalist Society meetings," he says, noting that more issues should be left to the states. Mr. Thompson says he can compete with Democrats in talking plainly about the anxiety many Americans have about the economy, despite good macro numbers. "Someone who is 18 today may well have 10 employers in their career," he says. "That's completely different from how their parents lived. I would address that insecurity and help people adapt without shooting ourselves in the foot with protectionism and income redistribution. I had 10 employers before I finished law school."
Yes, but can the social conservatives stand for these viewpoints? I don't think that they'll be able to. Economic ignorance and the proper role of the federal government (read the 9th and 10th articles of the Bill of Rights if you have doubts) is completely lost on far too many that are right-of-center with their politics.
Many FReepers in their heart of hearts know that what I am writing here is true; they may even be the guilty ones I am trying to identify.
