Thompson will win the Republican nomination for two reasons. First, he's a very impressive candidate. Second, there's no realistic alternative. He will win the general election for the same two reasons.

I had high hopes that we conservatives could find and promote a conservative Republican. One who would be what we had hoped Bush would be.

It is becoming apparent (sadly) that we're going to take what we can get. Again.

If Fred gets the nomination, I'll vote for him, but don't expect me to be excited about him, and don't be surprised when it turns out that he isn't what everyone says he is.

I agree with you. None of the candidates who has a real chance of getting the nomination is really appealing, and worse, I fear none of them can beat HildaBeast.
