Tuesday, May 1:

• EXCLUSIVE! Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson sits down with us tonight. Will he or won't he enter the 2008 presidential race?

[STARWISE]

;)

[SE Mom]

Hang tight- he’s getting organized:)

[Fudd Fan]

It would be nice if just once threads about other people didn’t become one big Rudy-bash. Include me out.

[AFreeBird]

Me too. I saw all I needed to see. Fred's in. I'm in.

As someone else mentioned; it's a refreshing change to be exited about a candidate, rather than finding the lessor of two evils.

My remote switched me back to "The Unit" in time to hear: What falls from the sky?

A: Manna from Heaven and an Airborne Ranger.

[Jet Jaguar]

My bad.

It’s hard to tell these days!

He’s just demonstating that he lives his life by a CODE, and that he has his priorities in order: “God, family, country...”

[NeoCaveman]

Oh I get it... my dad is from the south and when he’d speak real softly is when we got scared.

Yup. That was brutal in an understated southern gentelmanly sort of way.

[Inspectorette]

I didn’t think he announce on H&C. He’s more likely to do it when he addresses the Lincoln Club on Friday in Orange County.

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

Sean is just desperate to get a Republican elected, as am I, because of the HORRID alternative, which is against EVERYTHING we stand for, as opposed to Rudy, who is against SOME of the things we stand for. I hope Fred Thompson goes for it, but we have got to support the Republican or we are going to see our country destroyed. We somehow survived the 90’s, but I don’t think we will survive another round of that, even if it’s 4 years, under the circumstances that we are in the struggle for our very existence with radical Islam

[Jet Jaguar]

Morris states,

“Only Rudy”

[seekthetruth]

“Al Sharpton AND Joe Biden up next.
Where’s the remote??????”

We used our remote right after Fred’s interview as they showed Sharpton’s face saying he was coming up. Just loved hearing Fred Thompson tonight! He has two votes from this house and lots of support!

[pcottraux]

Woulda been a nice surprise, though.

Like the Joker card at the end of “Batman Begins,” or the sudden revealing of Geoffrey Rush at the end of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2,” it would have been a major geek-out fall-out-of-seat moment for me! Then I would have started dancing.

[freespirited]

Sean has said numerous times that he is pro-life.

[50mm]

Where did I bash Rudy? I just pointed out the obvious - that Hannity avoided Rudy's weak points because he is a Rudy supporter.

[don-o]

Don-o states, "Sean and Dicky are a matched set of big dummies."

[Shelayne]

I think so too.

I was able to catch the interview after all. He very cleverly parses his words, but I can read his mind, and I say he is IN! ;^) :^D

[Politicalmom]

Jim already weighed in on Fred Thompson upthread.

[STARWISE]

If I may, I think what pm meant was that he slipped by indicating he was even IN a campaign .. it's still a public secret, ya know? Mum's the word. Let me know if I'm right, pm.

See- your example- and really everything Morris said tonight is sympotomatic of the “political consultant” syndrome.

They are so wrapped up in the numbers and the polls that’s all they see. The completely misread America.

[Jet Jaguar]

“Rudy is the Fighter!”

States Morris.

I am so glad I don’t have Morris as a cheerleader.
