“lol i watched it live and thought thompson had fire in his belly for the first time.”

I heard the word “firebrand” used.

I think people are beginning to think about the difference between style and substance, realizing that substance is the most important.

Fred Thompson clearly has more substance than Romney, Huckabee or Giuliani.

This "fire in the belly" crap is just more media spin. The MSM has tried to shape our perceptions of the candidates and influence our vote. The idea that someone would put themselves and his family through the personal scrutiny and exhausting efforts of campaigning entailed in running for President and not want to occupy the office is nonsense.

The MSM employs a whack-a-mole strategy against Rep candidates. They want to discredit every Rep and they do that by building them up and tearing them down. The MSM wants to discourage Rep voters about the quality and electability of its candidates.

In point of fact, the Rep Party has fielded one of its best slate of candidates in a Presidential campaign lacking an incumbent President or VP. Unlike the Dems, we really have a choice between candidates and where they stand on the issues. There are significant differences. The Dem candidates march in lockstep on the issues with each trying to outdo the other's Me-tooism.

I agree on that one but have my reservations if will keep this up I sincerely hope he does as he seems to be the only candidate that conservatives as a whole will get behind and without their support I doubt a Republican can win the general election.
