Seems he is always near Judge Roberts!

USA Today and Gallup offer their latest in polling for both parties in the extended presidential primary race, and a couple of changes have raised eyebrows. First, even the rumor of a bid by Fred Thompson has dented Rudy Giuliani's momentum, while John McCain's decline in support appears to have leveled off:
"On the Republican side, former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson shook up the field with his announcement that he would consider getting into the presidential race. Thompson is familiar as the actor who plays District Attorney Arthur Branch on NBC's Law and Order. Chosen by 12% of Republican and Republican-leaning voters, Thompson is third in the Republican field. He trails former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, at 31%, and Arizona Sen. John McCain, at 22%. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich is at 8%."
"Thompson's support seems to come largely from voters who had supported Giuliani. In the USA TODAY poll taken March 2-4, Giuliani's standing had been 13 percentage points higher, at 44%. McCain's support had been 2 points lower then."
"What does this mean? Conservatives who have supported Giuliani for his leadership and electability -- and plenty of them have -- would desert Rudy if a credible, consistent conservative entered the race... Thompson['s]... eight years in the Senate have left a more credible sense of consistency and center-right politics than Giuliani brings to the race. And according to the Post's blog The Sleuth, Thompson has begun seriously considering a run -- and has met with GOP powerhouse advisor Ed Gillespie."

Romney fared poorly in this poll... That has to be disappointing, especially since Hugh Hewitt's political biography and Romney's appearance at CPAC should have set the stage for a significant boost. Has Thompson's potential disrupted Romney's momentum as well? Possibly.

That's fairly ovious.
Yeah, but they are trickling over to the new anti-freep pro rudy website daily.
Perhaps some of us are sick of the lies calling us "100 percenters" and "one issue voters" and posters telling us social conservatives are unnecessary, but in the next breath telling us it will be our fault if the Hildebeast wins.
Been here longer than you, gramps.
Perhaps Constitutionalists, but Fred is strong on gun rights, and as much as I think CFR was a travesty, I believe Fred was still working on the "clean up the corruption" wavelength. He seems to have mostly been trying to reduce bribery.
Length of membership here is no indicator that you are a conservative.
Supporting Rudy is a definite indicator you are not a conservative.
You called me a rudybot because I support Rudy. But I'm sure there are many like me who know Fred can also win against Hillary/Barak and will stand 100% behind him. You are so wrong.
What are you, a dog shiffing my butt? Get lost, weirdo.
You claim to be a long time freeper, but don't realize this is an open forum, and if you post an opinion, you should expect someone to reply. Hmmm.
Well, it's hard not to discuss Giuiani and his record without trashing him. He sucks, and he's a scumbag, and certainly doesn't deserve a single republican vote. What a friggin horror show!
Even if he is a "plant", at least he's not a hardcore liberal, baby murder supporting gun grabber like that scumbag Yankees fan, Giuliani.
If I were a scumbag, I'd be a Rudy supporter. I am neither.
Supporting Rudy is a definite indicator you are not a conservative.
What's the point with this banal vulgarity? You claim to know the conservative indications--do you have any? Who's your candidate?
"You called me a rudybot because I support Rudy."
I looked at my past posts and don't see any posts from me to you calling you a Rudybot. Are you sure you got the right person?
LMAO! I'm not panicking, time will show that America will not vote for the POS.
You claim to know the conservative indications
Well, they certainly do not include the pro-abortion, anti-consitution, pro illegal, pro-sodomy and anti-gun stance that Giuliani stands for. You'd have to be less than clueless to support that!
Yeah, I have a chosen candidate.
I imagine Fred Thompson can't tear himself away from Free Republic these days. What an ego feeder! And who can blame him? It's better than hearing applause from a stage, and takes far less effort!
Ha, ha....loved it....that was RICH!!
I thought you called me that....perhaps it was someone else. I hope Thompson runs regardless!!!
