A phantom stood behind an invisible podium in the New Hampshire Republican debates last night. But unlike the first two debates, no one tried to pretend former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson wasn’t a key player in the upcoming presidential race. It was another Thompson who introduced Fred to the audience -- by saying he was “Thompson -- Tommy -- not the other one.”
Just then, the absence of Fred Thompson seeped into the evening atmosphere. Some say the stalling to officially announce a candidacy is damning -- while others insist it is downright smart. Nevertheless, the silence was a golden emphasis of Thompson’s prominence in the race last night.
He’s been embraced in word by many conservatives who feel alienated by the current selection of blue-tinted Republican candidates, but is he all that they dare to hope for? Thompson has been dubbed a savior for the Republican nomination, but the hype could be watered in the disillusionment of unrealistic optimism.

A Thompson/Hunter candidacy is precisely what I’d like to see. One can only hope that that’s how things play out, cause I’d love to have Hunter in the next administration.
Hunter and Tancredo should be in President FRed Thompson’s administration somewhere...
:)
BTTT
Not jump ship, but his health is what I question.
I agree completely that Fred needs to move quickly from this point forward and get into the race officially as soon as possible, by the end of July at the latest is my thinking...
Thompson-Hunter ‘08 & ‘12
Hunter-xxxxxxxx ‘16 & ‘20
That is what I hope for right now as well, FP!
It’s just too darn bad there isn’t a way to revoke the title of Republican to those who have become liberal in Congress.
Hey LS,
When do you think the second tier will be dropping out on the GOP side?

He’s all but said he’s in, and we’re all 99% sure he’ll announce between 6/30 and 7/4.
You are without a doubt the whiniest person on the Fred-threads. You are certainly not doing YOUR candidate any good with your attacks, and he needs your HELP.
I would suggest that you go do something positive for the candidate that you support— there are millions of Americans who have not made up their minds yet and who are just itching to be turned on to your candidate by your obviously charming and persuasive personality.
And leave the Fred supporters alone.
Capiche?
Nah... only political junkies like us are paying attention right now anyway.
And Hillary is? Puuullleeze.
Great compilation.
~ Thank You ~
No he is not. The others jumped the gun by entering so early.
great answers by Fred, thanks for compiling them...
Wait a second.
Is Bush the guy on the right?
You know what - you're probably 100% correct.
