I have been touting Fred Thompson since January 2007 I think that is when FT started to catch fire. I know that is when I started pushing the THOMPSON-HUNTER 2008 potenital ticket as a BIGTIME winning propisition.
And I still do. Duncan needs to see the handwriting on the wall and team with Fred. Then Duncan can start planning a winning Presidential run in 2016.

>>>>... Thompson antagonizes no one and would unite the Republican Party ..... Likeability, integrity, wonderful voice, decades of excellent work in front of the camera, solid conservative credentials, inspiring life story, a unifying figure, a love of America instead of a lust for office this is ... Fred Thompson .... our next president.Good article. I think we can count on seeing more articles supporting Fred in the coming weeks and days.

I’ll vote for any decent Republican to thwart the Democrats. And in my opinion, all of the remaining viable candidates are decent, save one, who really doesn’t need to be named, but hell I might vote for him if push comes to shove, and if folks can drag my butt out from under the covers on election day..

“Having Fred in the White House will be like having Davy Crockett back in Washington. He is a no-nonsense leader who doesn’t wait for pollsters but follows the maxim: “Be sure you are right and then go ahead”.”

The most important but least discussed asset we are looking for in a candidate is the ability to communicate, and Fred Thompson seems to be what we the Republicans are yearning for.
You must admit, a major irritation for all of us has been Bushs trouble articulating. Given a prepared speech he can deliver it with the best of them. The speech given before congress following 9/11 had to be within the top 10 speeches given by any President. But slap a microphone in front of him like at a press conference and we Republicans cringe. His sloppy speaking style only serves to bolster the false perception that he is incompetent.
We need to get beyond that. We need to nominate someone who can communicate to not only us, the Republican base, but touch bases with the millions and millions of moderate voters who most often vote Democrat. Being one of the original Reagan Democrats I speak from experience. (read my FR profile page). Fred has that same appeal to people as Reagan did.
In President Reagans Farewell Address he said, I wasn’t a great communicator, but I communicated great things. Fred Thompson is a communicator of great things and a great communicator, and I am honored to be behind him.

There's only one thing I don't like about Fred, and I'm hoping it'll change, as I do want to be able to vote for him.
What I like most, is that he fairly roars this message: I don't NEED to be President. This is so normal and right, one can't help liking Fred. He's not an eel, constantly trying to elude his own positions, just to win. If a man isn't genuine, he cannot fool anyone for long, and therefore he cannot lead anyone.
Fred Thompson never said he was perfect, but he can definitely do the job of leading America.

The sniping at Thompson is coming from those who do not like the fact that he refused to play by the rules of punditry and from those who have genuine disdain from people who have come from flyover country.

"the only conservative who can win the nomination" Exactly. Thompson may yet step on a land mine, but so far, the Conservative Republican Party's nomination is his to lose. Liberals (Guiliani), Socialists (Mitt*), Pro-Lawbreaking and anti-First-Amendment (McCain) candidates will have a hard time in our party.
CONSERVATIVES RETAKE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!
Go Fred!
