Thompson ... [is] ahead of eight other candidates, including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

That's the way.

Rescue is too strong a word.

We do not need rescuing. I hope Fred runs, but if he does not, there are others equal to the task at hand.

Do not fall for the MSM drive by propagandists who want us all to feel desperate.

Thompson's possible candidacy...

Amazing stat's for one who hasn't joined the political frey as of yet.

As it stands it would be a disservice to us all if he declined the call to run.

I must say I’m perplexed by this interview.

Fred Thompson won’t be saving the republican party, He will be saving America as we know it.

Under democrat rule we wil be taxed to death and we will become the nation that doesnt keep its committments. we will become a nation dominated by European ideas of compromise, appeasement , and Global plitics. We will lose sovereignty and eventually be a ward of the UN. Our soldiers will be used to do the bidding of the United nations and not our own. Our defense will drop to dangerous levels ,while at the same time we will become a nation of unarmed slugs.

Eventually the Islamics will become strong enough to insist on Sharia law here as they insist on it in other countries under their heel now. Its isn’t going to be pretty with Hillary or Obama ,neither is worth their salt.

This is the best the party of cut and run , of cowards, of the meek who wish to become enslaved.

Reagan once said peace through strength.
That is the only way we will ever get peace without becoming slaves.

Hillary was the nominee-apparent since Kerry lost. Now, she is running behind Obama.

If FThompson does jump in, it will initially be a similar love fest the Dems had with Hillary. The vetting will come from other nominees and from the Hillary machine. It will be interesting to see what develops.

I’m not jumping on FThompson or any bandwagon for a long while — to see what all comes out in the vetting process. The first primaries are still more than half-a-year away. And historically, several ‘front runners’ have tripped up and never made it to the nomination. It is still early. And there is still allot of dirt to dig.

How’s he gonna do it if he doesn’t say “I’m Fred Thompson and I’m announcing my candidacy for President of the United States.”?

It’s over in 9 months, Fred...

Oops...forgot to put on the goggles. There’s the magical candidate that doesn’t need to campaign, fund raise, or partake in debates.

You go Fred....

I'm not sure he's still ahead of Romney who had a very good night at the Reagan library.

Put them on the stage together without Fred's expert makeup job at L&O and after a month of 16-hour campaigning.

Mitt's vigor and debate skills might win it for him, even if we tend to like and trust Fred more. And Romney has moved very strongly toward the conservative base on every issue, just not quite enough on guns yet.

I'm wondering if Fred might enter, just to be the VP for either McStain or Romney. Frankly, I'm not sure his health is up to being president, much like Cheney. Fred really is not, and has never been, a true political critter. That is a large part of his charm and attractiveness. But such candidates rarely get the nomination.

Can Fred Thompson rescue Republicans in 2008"

I certainly hope so. RESCUE is the right word--because a liberal like JulieAnnie will destroy the Republican Party (not to mention the conservative cause) as we know it.

If you want to DIVIDE and SPLIT the Republican Party WIDE-OPEN,,,

a lLIBERAL like JulieAnnie is JUST THE MAN FOR THE JOB!

Rescue?

Is that like Patton "rescuing" the boys of 101st Airborne at the Battle of the Bulge?

Fred Thompson is a master strategist who never lost an election and who is not content with just winning. He always wins with a margin of at least 20 points of difference to ensure a broad base of support during his term. He will get into this race at the right time so you need not worry. Rescue is on the way.

AMERICA FIRST...NOT PARTY ! THIS NATION is divided...we must have a strong leader to UNIFY this nation.

The DEMOCRATS have put party over our country. Please, as a Republican, I’m begging all Republicans and Conservatives to push for UNITY for this country by supporting strong Conservative leadership to unify this nation.

Fred Thompson is the man that can bring UNITY back to this country.

He may be able to rescue the Republican party, but, at this point in time, only Christ can rescue the Republic.

Fred can attempt to restore. Obviously, conservatives have a lot of work to do to get back to principles and elect those who are willing to further that principle and support them.

Fred may be medicine for now, but the fact that a person like Rooty can carry so much clout in the party is a wake up call.

Conservatives can no longer be fat and lazy!

And he hasn’t even announced he’s a candidate! Only that he’s considering!

Check him out on You Tube. There are great clips of him, and he comes across so natural and down to earth. Not a phoney bone in his body, nothing scripted, everything straight from his harddrive with no mental editing or self-censorship.
