I don't know. I would like to see more conservative R candidates join the race. When you boil it down, outside of Tancredo and Hunter there are no legitimate conservatives running. And since neither man has made a serious impact on the race from their second tier status, somethings gotta give.
All the more reason why folks on the right should hope Fred Thompson gets in the race. He's one of us. A conservative who is pro-defense, pro-limited govt (federalism), pro-tax reform, pro-gun, pro-life and anti-amnesty.

It's too bad he was never a governor, since governor's have an edge in presidential elections, but then again, neither was Hillary.
People keep saying "Fred is no Reagan", even though Fred never claimed to be a Reagan, and it's true. He's not. But that doesn't mean he's not a good solid conservative and that doesn't mean he lacks what it takes to beat Hillary.
Actually, I think one of the few Republicans who might actually lose to Hillary is Newt himself. I bet she'd love to have Newt be the Republican nominee.
