I know exactly what you mean; I was thinking today what would I do if he doesn't get in? I'll be depressed F O R E V E R.
But I dread what will be done to him - even right here on FR by that little bunch that is determined to hand this country over to the liberals.
He's got to do it FOR US, dang it!
The Giuliani fans?
Honestly, I don't think anything that goes on here will divert him from this mission, if he chooses it. Too many influential people are now engaged in the prospect, and too much excitement and spark's been ignited by the mere mention of the possibility of his run. No one else has generated so much positive buzz on our side.

I think Thompson is as frustrated as we are, and that is why I believe he will hop on the train.
