I just wanted to note to all that the italics in the referenced post were NOT uttered by me, even though it is supposedly in response to my post. I don’t know whose words they are, but they were not mine.
I believe that a strong conservative who is articulate will have excellent cross-over appeal to people who could care less about party ideology, but want government that works and otherwises leaves them alone.
I agree totally. Beside Fred Thompson as a possibility, who else fills the criteria you mention?
BTW, the excerpt in italics was from the posted article.
