I’m keeping an open mind about the candidates I think are not completely hopeless.
So am I. I've been very clear where I stand on Thompson, but he's got a record that begs questions. As long as he stays out of the race *officially* he can continue to avoid answering the questions.
I'm not opposed to Thompson, and as it stands now if he's the nominee I'll vote for him. But the other candidates are being vetted while Fred sits on the sidelines.
