I wouldn't exactly say a two-term Senator is lacking experience, but I do concede that he has no executive credentials. And I also agree that a ticket with both Thompson and Giuliani would at least get the GOP nod, and likely win in the general as well. But while I do like and respect Giuliani, I'm not so sure we should (or have to) settle for a moderate candidate at this point just to retain the WH in '08. I think we can win with someone with better conservative credentials. At the very least, I think we should try.

Bottom line for me: I'm voting for the most conservative candidate in the primary, and for whomever gets the nod in the general.

It's funny. Before he imploded last year, the biggest FR argument against George Allen was that "Senators can't win."

If I had the time/desire to do a search I bet I could find a bunch of Thompson supporters reminding us just how long it's been since we elected a Senator.

I think a liberal republican is worse than a liberal democrat.
