Youd swear that with all the excitement for thompson, you'd think tom coburn was running in the race.
Thompson was a moderate to conservative senator. He's basically a bush clone in the senate, he just speaks better. And all this talk about him sweeping the nomination seems a tad presumptious. Nobody really knows who he is, he'd likely start out at the same spot as a lot of the tier 2 candidates. Lets not forget most of the talent and money is being locked up by rudy romney and mccain.
Yes it is. Romney just got a big whopper money tycoon in Florida today. Most of the candidates need to raise a ton to run. If Fred wants in he better say so soon. The same with Newt. That's why I'm convinced that its all talk to get media attention. Helps in their careers. And there is nothing wrong with that.
