Rudy would pick up 80% of McCain’s support if McCain isn’t in the race. He’d get a share of Romney’s suppor (and vice versa). Fred has “changed” all he can change from afar. Rudy is, and will be, #1 until Fred gets in, and Romney will remain #1 in fundraising for some time-—he has that much of a lead.

Actually, Ogie, that was my post on #24. I was listing the different ways that Pro-Life and Pro-Choice are viewed in the media and by the general public as far as I've observed.
Keep in mind, I've not given my personal opinion.
What is your definition of "Pro-Choice" ? "Pro-Life" ?

My bets are still on Romney. I don’t think Guliani really has a chance. Nor does Thompson. I think that voters will be turned off by his (Thompson’s) wife - there’s something tacky looking about her - maybe a little rough around the edges (??) Also, when I heard Thompson on Hannity, I didn’t think he looked well at all. His speech was slow and hesitant and he stuttered. We don’t need another Bush in the WH.

Who are these 17% that support McCain? They are part of the "Press 2" crew.

Precisely because I do write history I know that candidates don't just "jump in" in November and have a hope of winning (all things being equal). But if you're going to appeal to history, Rudy has a much better chance than does Fred. At least two mayors have won nominations and run pretty close national races. The last senator to do so was JFK.
He might be having perfect timing. I hope so. But I'm beginning to fear that as the attacks start, he's going to back off. And they will start (already have).
There are organizational/structural reasons you can't wait too long to set up state and local organizations. It just flat takes too long. We in OH are already lining up the candidates for the 2008 STATE races.

If Fred gets the nomination, who should be his VP?

>>>>>>>>The fact that you and your sons have cell phones and VOI, and thus wouldn't be polled, doesn't matter (sorry to burst your bubble). Statistically speaking, pollsters call a few hundred people, possibly at most a couple of thousand, and use these responses to statistically approximate (with MoE depending on sampling size) for the much larger population from which the respondants were sampled. In a country our size, the likelihood of any one person being randomly chosen for participation in a poll is miniscule anywise, so you are practically as likely not to be polled, even if you had a traditional landline - and this wouldn't affect the validity of the poll in the least. The math still works out the same, regardless of whether any one member of the population is sampled.<<<<<
I should have been more clear. I agree if the pollsters are asking the question are you a Democrat or a Republican, answer - yes and then they ask away....on the other hand, mobile Americans are veering away from traditional phone usage and as a result, how has that skewed the demographic of those who have veered? In other words, are more Democrats than Republicans opting for alternative phone systems or are more Republicans opting for alternative phone systems. That part of a survey cannot capability cannot be ignored any longer.

With Thompson apparently coming out as pro choiceFred is not pro-choice, and although your signup date here is May 18, 2007, I think you know the ropes. Please don't spread disinformation, people notice and remember, and you discredit yourself. Not to mention that it reflects poorly on your preferred candidate.

Pro-choice: Abortion should be legal.
Pro-life: Abortion should be illegal.
Simple.
As far as “pro-life” or “pro-choice” labels, it doesn’t matter a whit whether a candidate, like Giuliani, prefers to have the federal government mandate the states tolerate the slaughtering of 40 million babies, or whether Giuliani would rather the states permit the slaughtering of 40 million babies on their own.
And it’s certainly deceitful or delusional to claim that a candidate is “pro-choice” because he recognizes that step one in abolishing abortion is to bring the issue back to the states by undoing the Supreme Court’s usurpation of democracy.

The last senator to do so was JFK.Maybe I'm off, but I think things are different than SOP election cycles would dictate. With Dems for defeat and Bush and his cohorts selling out the conservatives, the time seems ripe for a candidate such as Fred. What I am concerned about is the public reaction to his 'entitlement reform' message. He is starting out by embracing the third rail. That to me, sets him apart. He has included in his campaign a plank that other candidates will not even get near.

Thanks for the reply, Dangus. I enjoy your straight-up talk. I believe Hunter and Brownback definitely fall in the Pro-Life position you have stated.
To return to the question raised on this thread. Last night, F. Thompson clearly said that abortion rights should be decided at the state level. Now, the question is, does Fred Thompson believe abortion should be illegal in America? I'm of the opinion that he does NOT hold that position, but if you have quotations otherwise, I would really like to see them.
I appreciate your fightin' attitude!

Thompson was obviously the winner in last night’s debates. Most of the talk in our workplace this morning was regarding Fred’s appearance on H&C last night not on the RINOs

With Thompson apparently coming out as pro choice as per last nights interview this race is about to get more interesting.
WTF? I did not see this, but if this is true than I am seriously disappointed and will ONLY vote for Duncan Hunter for real. KEVKROM you seem to think this is not what he said. What did he say????

What virtually every other pro-life person on the planet says -- get Roe v. Wade overturned and then deal with it at the state level.

Whatever -
If he is for the choice being given back to the states - that is far and above what the others promote.
Also his votes have supported banning the killing - partial birth, cloning

Well that is a far cry from being pro-choice like that other poster wrote. I am glad that he is pro-life.
To: napscoordinator
Don’t let the gnats distract you. Thompson had a perfect pro-life voting record in the Senate, and that was when even he describes himself as not being an advocate on the issue. As with many other folks, seeing his new babies on the sonogram machine made him understand the enormity of the issue.
