We are beggers when we start begging other candidates like Fred Thompson and Newt to join the race. That gives true conservatives like Duncan Hunter NO Chance whatsoever.

We aren't 'begging' Fred to join, we are hoping for someone that not only has 'Conservative Values' but a chance to win across the board and be a figurehead of Conservative values. The problem I have with Hunter is he only preaches to the choir. Great guy, but no marketing strengths beyond the base who is already sold on him.

(I actually put Newt in the same category as Hunter in terms of marketability)

Basically we not only need values, we need an inspirational leader who will change the face of America towards conservatism, unlike Rudy who would 'change conservatism' for America.

Now you are making no sense whatsoever.

Ain't too proud to beg. THOMPSON/GINGRICH '08 ;)
