>>So who do you think will “unite” the party?<<
A true conservative, if one exists. Fred Thompson looks like one to me right now.
It will be interesting to see if Thomspson enters the race. He’s the only potential candidate who could sway me from Guiliani at this point.
What concerns me most about Thompson, frankly, is his seeming lack of ambition. To be President—especially in times like these—one has to have a burning desire for the office. Either that, or a true sense of duty.
Not to take anything away from him, but I’m not sure Fred really feels either of those impulses.
