I doubt he'd be able to mount much of a candidacy but I will say that I love watching him on Law and Order! His character is the anti-Nifong.
To: Livin_large
I still like Hunter better but Thompson has the all important name recognition they keep telling us about. A Thompson/Hunter ticket would certainly give Hunter the name recognition for the future.
I do like Thompson better than any of the front runners out there now.

More to come? I hope so. Rudolph Neut McRomney is a waste for conservatives.

A possibility.

Adequately financed, he would be a formidable candidate. He surely has helped McCain, Libby and a SCOTUS candidate--Roberts. He has the underlying political contacts and service to others a successful candidate needs.
He has no real liabilities on the social issues except for a late life divorce. I think he is in his middle sixties so he is at least four years younger than McCain.
We could do worse but I do not think any better. He has had a life before and after the Senate so he is exceptional in that respect.

A Thompson/Hunter ticket would certainly give Hunter the name recognition for the future. It would also be a great geographical balance: Tennessee/California
To: Livin_large
I am a Thompson supporter...
Word is he will make his announcement this Sunday on Fox News Sunday.
I'm looking forward to having someone to campaign for.

Does anybody remember Fred Thompson's first acting job? It was a TV movie called "Marie:A True Story" about a young woman who exposed corruption in the Tennessee Governor's office with the help of a lawyer named Fred Thompson. The lawyer was played by Fred Thompson.

While I might prefer Hunter on the ticket first, it sure beats the herd of rino's out there sporting around and pretending they have anything in common with the base of the conservative republican party!
It's a ticket I could be for, rather than have to decide against the less of two evils.

I doubt he'd be able to mount much of a candidacy Think again. He was a formidable Senator, who left politics of his own accord. He would mop the floor with any Rat in the race today.

"Marie:A True Story" Sissy Spacek, right? I think it was a true story about Tennessee corruption.

"This will get out of control..this will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."
I have nothing to add, but my favorite Fred Thompson movie quote, from The Hunt for Red October.
How is he on the 2nd amendment? Is it just for hunting to him, or does he see it like we do?

That's the one. Marie and Mr. Thompson cleaned the rats out of the state government.

He'll be trouncing the current frontrunners in a matter of weeks.
