Fred Thompson 44% Hitlary 43%
Fred Thompson 37% Hussein Obama 49%
Poll based on 800 likely voters over March 21-22..
Absolutely, he's a great choice. Of course I don't buy the hysteria of the "gun grabber" nonsense...and I am in favor of abortion being legal, albeit with parental notification, a partial birth ban in place and Roe Vs Wade being overturned.
It's more important to me that we have a president who will confront Congress on entitlement reforms, take on the teachers unions in order shove vouchers and school choice down their throats....and of course kill ragheads.
Ahem.... :)
Rasmussen poll shows Hussein Obama beating Fred Thompson in head to head matchup.
I don't trust ANYONE to lead this country if he doesn't even understand the 2nd Amendment. All it would take is one guy who decides we don't need our guns, and one Executive Order. No thanks!

7. I'm very worried about a Thompson run
We'll not flip any red states if we put up one of our three so-called front runners against him - and we have to do that to win.
Groan.

OK, let's see: you are not concerned about the 2nd Amendment, you are pro-abortion, and you want the president to "kill ragheads." Thanks for clarifying your positions.
book mark
I always have to thank anyone who goes there to catch up on their latest "thinking"...so THANKS!
You bet they're worried...and rightly so!!
I thought everyone here has decried all the polls as not worth the bandwidth? I can't imagine why the sudden acceptance.
Does it seem a bit unsettling that the Republican candidates that lead in the polls are either liberal (Giuliani) or haven't even declared yet (Thompson, Gingrich)
Either the polls are manipulated (possible), the average man on the street Republican is clearly uninformed (probable), or the respondants are reacting to name recognition without much real thought (most likely of all).
I fear for our Party's future.
FYI!!
And I think a declared Fred does better against the Magic Negro.
Why?
I think Fred WILL be a formidable candidate.
As you note, polls are only meaningful to those that gain from them! LOL!
Thus, I believe it is a phony poll.
I think this says more about Hillary Clinton's weakness than anything else.
This is a "before" snapshot for Thompson, and if I were him, I'd be greatly encouraged by it.
Is that like trying to teach calculus to prostitutes?

Really...who cares if a liberal defeats another liberal?
I don't believe I said that.
As far as I'm concerned, indicating you're running and filing papers is running. I don't believe Thompson has done any of that. I wish he would, but he seems to be the kind of guy who will do things according to his own timing, not everyone else's. I like that.
I don't know. I've never tried to teach calculus to a prostitute. Or to a horse, for that matter.
