I was a Fred Thompson supporter from the very beginning. His lackluster, feckless performance convinced me that he is not a prime time player.
This is why I’m not so sure about Mitt’s political future. Would Mitt truly and willingly accept a cabinet position in a possible McCain administration? Remember, both McCain and Romney really do hate each other, despite both of them saying that they have “made up”. In fact, would any of the former GOP Presidential candidates accept cabinet positions, if seriously asked, in a possible McCain administration? What would a McCain administration seriously look like? I still see a possible President McCain picking some Democrats, RINO’s, and conservatives for a variety of cabinet positions/other administrative positions.
I gave $115 to Fred. And my answer is no.
Palin / Jindal 2012
I do, however, hold out hope for 'combacks' to some sort of leadership positions for still young Rick Santorum and George Allen types.
My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't mind seeing him as AG, though - we need someone who really respects the Constitution to rein in the BATFE thugs.

Fred Thompson is Steve Forbes, but with less money.
As for Palin, her chance to get to the White House is this year through the Vice-Presidency. McCain did conservatives a huge favor with this pick. Without being Vice-President, Palin would have to do the normal Presidential Candidate thing in 2011 which is spend two years campaigning for the presidency. Somehow, I don't think Alaskans would stand for it. If she was Vice-President, it would be different.
If this doesn't end with a McCain/Palin victory, the 2012 race will be between the 2 top finishers. Get ready for Huckabee v. Romney: This Time It's Personal.
Same here.. It is time for old guard to step down.. I think had George Allen not lost the Senate seat he could have been our nominee. Just pure speculation..
Rolled by John Glenn in the China investigation. Glenn later rewarded for his treason with a subsequent space flight.
Let us all down with us utter lack luster 2008 performance.
Give this a rest and let him contribute as he may, but forget him ever being a serious candidate.
He has dashed our hopes twice, in a most serious way.
hmm.. I thought you quoted me until I realized I hadn't posted yet. Ditto.
More like a stroll maybe.
I was really disappointed at his “lack luster” attitude when he was running in the Primaries, I even sent him money and thought he'd make a very good President....but I'm a great believer that there are times when people deserve a second chance..they learn a lesson along the way and want another chance. That being said, I don't see him running for President again, but he'd be very valuable in Congress or the Cabinet...you go Fred! I wish you success in the future.
“We will be electing incumbent Vice President Palin for President.”
I am beginning to think so! Would be fun to see her up against Hillary! It would be President Palin for sure! :)
Sorry Fred, there’s a new sheriff in town. You snooze you lose.
Sorry but Thompson showed absolutely no enthusiasm during his last run. Of all candidates who have run for office during my 68 years of life Thompson was probably to most casual and disinterested of any of them. I don’t know if he’s a nice guy or not but I do know he doesn’t excite me at all and I’d probably give him the same level of interest he showed in his last effort (if you can call it that). Stick to acting, Thompson, and make room for candidates who are truly excited about the prospect of serving their country. I’ve seen more fire out of icebergs in the Atlantic.

I like Fred, I strongly supported him in the primary, but Palin 2012!
Why would we not support Sarah for president?
