LOL!!!!!!!!!
This is a stupid article.
A Romney Huckabee ticket sounds plausible.
Underwhelming my a$$. I thought it was among his best appearences yet. He gave well thought-out, lucid, Constitutionally sound responses and didn't let Russert get the best of him, yet kept his composure and treated Russert with respect.

No attacks against the poster.
However, I think Fred did very well on MTP.
People see what they want to see. If they want Fred to fail, they see him failing.
Another wrong ad hominem attack from the Thompson camp. Why am I not surprised?
At least you stick to the issues for the most part, as much as we disagree. I can’t say that for some of your comrades...
As a life-long Arkansas conservative, believe me when I say, you REALLY DON’T want Huckabee on any GOP ticket. He’s NOT the conservative he acts like.
> It’s becoming obvious that Fred really isn’t riding in to save the GOP day. If it comes down to Giuliani, Huckabee or Romney, then Romney all the way!
I’m not enthused about any of those 3. Rooty is a big lib, Huckabee is a stealth lib, and Romney has conveniently migrated to the non-lib side of the house just in time for primary season— let’s just say I doubt what he’ll do once he gets the reins. I will dutifully pull the lever against Her Thighness, but it will be a queasy election year, to be sure.
I don’t think any of the frontrunner GOP candidates are Free Republic Conservatives. I also think the “frontrunners” are down to Mitt and Rudy.
>>As Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family has pointed out, Thompson endorses the idea of fifty different definitions of marriage. The same is true, it seems, on the definition of life, since Thompson simply wants to see Roe v. Wade overturned and the issue returned to the states.
In addition, Thompson seemed muddled and indecisive about his opinion on water boarding as a technique for dealing with terrorist detainees. <<
Roe V. Wade should be overturned.
Waterboarding, like other mock executions, is a form of prohibited psychological torture.
Dobson impresses me less and less.

‘But McCain’s unpopularity within his party stems from two other issues: illegal immigration and campaign finance reform.’
This author doesn’t have a clue, as this statement shows clearly.
McCain was never ‘popular’ with the GOP base at ANY POINT. Thats a result of his loving MSNBC’s gang of leftwingers and the attention they have given him over the past decade or so. He was only popular with the MSM types, who knew he would implode in a national election he entered at the top of the ticket.
At this point in the 2004 race, John Kerry was at the same leve Thompson is at today, folks. Doesn’t mean Thompson will win, but it does show the author’s research for this hit piece was shoddy at best, intentionally false at worst.
McCain is dead meat. Keating 5, against conservatism, questionable on immigration, too old, a loose cannon, not in touch with mainstream America, media darling, etc.
Then why is Fred doing BETTER than Romney in most polls?
Giuliani fluff.
No Giuliani, NO PROBLEM.
>>>>McCain was never ‘popular’ with the GOP base at ANY POINT.
The writer may have mentioned McCain and Thompson together since Thompson co chair McCain’s 2000 run.

‘The writer may have mentioned McCain and Thompson together since Thompson co chair McCain’s 2000 run.’
The writer will be voting a straight Democratic ticket come November of 08.
The more I hear about Romney the less I like him, and I didn’t like him to start with. The game-show-host polish is not what I’m looking for in a president. And yet, slickness in a candidate seems to coincide with slickness in his campaign, and Fred could use a little slick in that department.
Nevertheless, I watched the MTP interview with Fred, and he strikes me as a mature, sensible, wise man; a statesman. While I’m not completely satisfied with his comments on a certain issue, he is clearly the best of the batch.
