I want Thompson to win the nomination. But I have watched the debates and watched the man campaign, speeches, interviews, etc.....And I have concluded Fred Thompson really does not want the job.

I agree. I concluded this about eight months ago when people were trying to get him to run (with enough TIME to actually mount a campaign and get an organization) and no one moved.

And if you have a candidate who doesn't want to run, it's a disaster to give him the nomination (and it would be a gift, not anything earned).
