Don't depend too much on Thompson to beat Hillary or any Democrat because you might be surprised at the lack of response in the U.S. to him running. FR is not the rest of the U.S. The excitement here might not be carried over to the rest of the country.
You maybe right. We'll know soon enough if Thompson gets in. A "Fishrrman you read it here first" prediction:
Fred Thompson is going to be the GOP VICE-presidential candidate in 2008.
