WHO WOULD BE HIS VP CANDIDATES? We need a strong, strong VP candidate to run with him. Hillary is going to pull NY, Cal, NJ, PA, MI, MN, WA, OR, NM,WV, MD, IL, probably IN, maybe OH. We need Texas, FLA, VA, and the others. We need Ohio badly.

I heard them talking about Gore getting in the race but nobody thinks he will because of the way the media treated him. I wish he would and give hitlery a good fight.

In the back ground on Leno, they should be playing what I think should be Fred's Theme Song....
Sam and Dave...
"Hold on I'm Coming"
Go over to "YouTube" and search for the Song, watch and listen, it still kicks after all these years....

That was very classy. Thank you.

I just signed up with “I’mwithFred” and sent my 100 bucks. Been waiting six months for this!
We now have two viable canidates: Thompson and Hunter. The rest are toast. I’d take either one but Fred has the grip off of the starting line.

EggsAckley.......What is the time frame for a normal election year?
Just because the neo-Libs are in campaign mode everyday/all-day doesn’t mean
we have to change the rules of engagement to accommodate them.
They don’t make the rules for us. Maybe they like to change the game plan
mid-stream for themselves, not for me I tell ya’

But if Thompson can manage a non-campaign no better than this, how the hell are we expecting him to competently battle the most motivated and well-funded Democrat smear machine in our lifetimes?It's getting pretty late in the game. We need less people consuming money and political oxygen in this primary now, not more. Nonsense. There is still a whole excruciating ~year~ and more to go. I am increasingly of the opinion that the early primaries are now too early to be relevant.
Letting the party decide too early who their candidate is just leaves a very, very long time... Time enough for the nominee to fall on his face. Leaving it once again to the convention to find another. Which, IMHO wouldn't be a bad way to go. This business of starting campaigns 18 or 20 months out is just too much.

I agree, Thompson/Hunter is the best conservative ticket. I’m hoping that both the Thompson supporters and Hunter supports push for that, when and if that is the possibility.

But, but....we were ASSURED REPEATEDLY by numerous posters on this very forum that Fred would not announce or was only trying to shore up McCains campaign. We should have a truckload of crow delivered to the denizens of the WA board. No need to sign the gift card - they'll know damned well who it's from.

Well, he looks great. I hope he’s put a few pounds back on. I think he was overdoing the weight loss.
