That may be true, but still, Thompson jumped ship waaaay too soon. As of this very day, until his terse, 45-word announcement, the Presidency was Thompson's to lose.
And Andy Cline needs to understand something that Tom Sowell talks about, and that is that when faced with choices, one MUST chose among the range of choices actually available.
The ideal candidate described by Cline wasn't running this year.
Thompson was.
Our only hope now (and it might come true) is that Romney picks him to be VP. I know you are not thrilled with Romney but I sincerely believe he is better than the Huckster. After Mitt gets the nomination (if he does) and Thompson comes aboard (maybe), I would love Romney to be man enough to allow Fred number 1 chair. Romney would gain so much respect from that and he will still be able to run in 2016 and could possibly be the best president in history after learning about what conservatism is about through 8 years as Vice President. Yes a lot of wishful thinking, but that is about all we have now a days.
Agreed and IMO, that fact has lent credence to some of the attacks made against Fred over the last 5-1/2 months.
Fred we hardly knew ya!
