FRED ping!
“He recognizes that at this point in history, people want somebody who can communicate effectively, who can communicate directly, who can cut through a lot of the rhetoric,” Frist said of Thompson. “And Fred can do just that.”
“Over the next several weeks, and it could even be months, he’s going to continue to consider it very, very aggressively,” Frist added.

And the first thing Thompson should do is distance himself from anything having to do with Frist.

If he runs, I'll get off my butt and vote for him. Right now, there isn't a conservative I like (that has a chance of winning)that I would vote for. Duncan Hunter is great, but he has zero chance of winning.

Over the last two days,I've heard two political analysts,from very different directions ( Pat Buchanan,Dick Morris) both say they'd give Thompson a VERY good chance not only to win the GOP nomination,but the White House also. While I don't always agree with these guys,politics is their game and they think Thompson's got the appeal factor to go all the way !!!

Fred can most certainly do all of the above better than anyone else in the race.

Next week at a Seattle Mariners game a local conservative talk radio station KVI 570 will be handing out "IM A FRED HEAD" stickers at their booth. It will be Military Appreciation Night at the stadium so it should attract many conservatives.

Only a politic an could utter the words
"VERY AGRESSIVELY considering" without blushing. Pure nonsense.

I don't know, I heard once that Thompson did not come to a complete stop at a stop sign. Such disrepect of the law has to raise questions about his suitability for the Presidency.

“He recognizes that at this point in history, people want somebody who can communicate effectively, who can communicate directly, who can cut through a lot of the rhetoric,” Frist said of Thompson. “And Fred can do just that.” If his recent Paul Harvey segments are any indication of the type of direct speech Thompson would use in a Presidential race, Frist is absolutely correct on this score.

I'm intrigued by the idea of Thompson running, but if he's tight with that weak-kneed, Beltway smitten, do-nothing politician Frist, in addtion to McVain, then I have some serious doubts about Fred's ability to lead the conservative charge.

I'm guessing that Fred doesn't want to officially declare his candidacy too early.
The entire 2008 campaign began prematurely and a fatigue-factor could set in, not to mention if Fred declares now it gives the MSM more time to slander and lie about him.
Sounds like stategery to me.

I respectfully suggest that the reason(s) Thompson is currently in third is that 1--he hasn't declared yet, 2--people know his face but not his name, 3--people don't know his policies.
2 and 3 will be cleared up when he does 1.

“Over the next several weeks, and it could even be months, he’s going to continue to consider it very, very aggressively,” Frist added. There is also this from The Sleuth yesterday:
Behind the scenes, former senator and current "Law and Order" actor Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.), who is being wooed by GOP wise men to run for president, sat with colleagues at ABC News, where he's a radio commentator. His wife, Jeri, certainly looked the role of a presidential candidate's spouse, smiling and wearing an atypically conservative black dress, showing no skin below the neck, unlike what she wore last year to another black-tie dinner. Hmmm, is the new more subdued look a clue to Thompson's plans?
