This just in: Mitt Romney is a more effective communicator of the factors involved in executive decision making than any candidate — for a long time — including Ronald Reagan (who was likely better with political philosophy and emotional leadership).

Just sayin’....

These types of articles serve no purpose other than to create animosity among FReepers.

it will take a republican greater than Reagan to win in 08. Anyone see one on the horizon? Didn’t think so. Mirages can be very misleading.

Fred Thompson will advance through the campaign process on his own merits. He is a good communicator and a good conservative. If conservatives like what they hear from Fred, he’ll win the nomination. FredT maybe Reaganesque, I don’t see him being Reagan-like. Enough already. There was only one Ronald Reagan.

Well, we just don’t know that yet, do we?

Let’s wait and see how it all plays out.

Fred Thompson is not known for his humor.

Fred's response to Michael Moore showed he has a great sense of (biting) humor, and knows how to use it.

Come on, now, you know perfectly well, at this stage, he can’t come out and say the words.

Fred epitomizes my political beliefs, and desired political style. I’m backing him...win, lose, or draw.

If the nomination goes to someone other than FRed, Hunter, or Tancredo, I sit at home and eat popcorn while watching reruns.

That won't get anyone, including Mitt, elected.

One way in which Fred reminds me of Dutch is that both men understand that for a conservative to be elected President he must build a broad coalition. Pro-life, pro-2A, pro-Constitution, pro-sovereignty, pro-defense, federalist, limited-government, supply-side, low-tax, pro-family, pro-faith; we need EVERYBODY pulling at the oars together to keep the ship moving. I just don’t think Rudy, Mitt or McCain could ever pull this off. I hope that Fred can.

I agree. It’s almost like watching Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof. On the other hand...On the other hand....On the other hand.
