As former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson gets ready to enter the race for president, observers marvel at how an unannounced candidate, five years out of politics, has managed to climb from nowhere to the top of several national polls.
But the reason for Mr. Thompson's meteoric rise is as plain as day: Man and moment are meeting, as has so regularly occurred in the history of this great nation. When challenges mount, these United States seem to produce the right person for the right job. Fred Thompson is that person, for the challenges that America and the free world face in the years to come.
As more and more mainstream conservative voters recognize that truth, Mr. Thompson's support grows and grows.
First, on substance, Mr. Thompson is the best and most uniquely suited among the Republican candidates for president in 2008 to re-assemble the winning Reagan coalition of social, economic, and foreign-policy conservatives. Why? Because Mr. Thompson marries the right principles, the right core beliefs, with an almost unparalleled ability to communicate those principles in direct and understandable terms. Moreover, Mr. Thompson's record shows the is a legitimate, good-government conservative, with a 35-year record to prove it.

Thats one mans opinion.
Excellent article.
The point about uniting the Republican Party is important. Candidates such as Guiliani and McCain will just divide the party. We need a candidate with unwavering commitment to conservative principles.
And this woman's!
Yes, but a very strong one...
Maybe I am idealist, but I think a Fred Thompson presidency will unite the entire country.
A few more than one.
When do the Presidential primaries normally/officially begin, January of the election year?
And this woman’s!
Yes, but it's shared by the majority of Conservatives.
I signed up for $50 bucks a month on Fred’s web site. It will be good till the elections. If 100,000 conservatives give $50 a month. There is no way Fred won’t win. He will have enough money to bury the Clinton machine. I feel at this time I will for go a dinner and a movie per month to assure that my children will be able to be free and live a better life without having to give most of their hard earned money to shit heads that won’t work and suck the welfare teat.
....Do you think, NYT / WaPo, are trying to practice "Honest" Journalism....something they've haven't practiced in more 40+ years.....Nah.
Just run already.
1980. Reagan vs Democrats of the 70s. Landslide. White House. Senate.
2008. Thompson vs Democrats of the 70s. Landslide. White House. Senate. House.
And more importantly, a couple appointments to the Supreme Court.
Check out the 10-minute talk-on-video of Thompson addressing the Young Republicans, Saturday. Let Thompson be Thompson. He's great!
The time is now and FRed is the man.
Well, todays fish wrap had a HUGE hit piece on Fred Thompson, so he must be running and they are scared!
