I don't look for him to run especially if Rudy starts tanking in the polls.

I'm a little confused by your reply. Are you saying that Thompson is threatening to run just to make life difficult(or something)for Rudy?

I like Fred, but I don't like how he is twiddling his thumbs. America needs a decisive, take charge, grab 'em by the cojones kind of president. Not declaring when most everyone else has, makes me a tad uneasy about his commitment. I'm paying close attention to Duncan Hunter.

My guess is that he was surprised by the good reaction he got and is now doiung what he has to do to change the course of his life from being the successor to Paul Hervey to being the successor to George Bush.

No it's just that Rudy is disliked by Conservatives. If Rudy falls out in the polls and is not seen as a large threat more persons will go to other choices. IMO Fred is largely being pushed to make certain Rudy is not the GOP primaries winner.
