Fred Thompson on C-SPAN (vanity)

C-Span | 9/8/2007 | Soliton

I appologize for the vanity. I haven't done one in a long time, but I got my first real look at Fred Thompson tonight. He was in Iowa talking to a crowd. He came across with the knowledge of a policy wonk on a wide range of issues, avoided pandering, and out charisma'd Bill Clinton.

I honestly believe that all the other GOP contenders are now running for Vice President.

Ping!

Fred is gonna slay the Hildabeast.

[9YearLurker]

Yup, and it’s down to Rudy and Mitt. I think it’s going to be Mitt. Done right, it’ll come off as the youthful, operational-expert Mitt there to play designated COO while Fred is CEO and Chairman of the Board.

If it’s Fred as the nominee I prefer that he not choose a VP running mate from the list of candidates. I’m not that enthaused of another Washington insider being selected for that spot. I guess Romney and Giuliana aren’t D.C. insiders per se and do bring some executive experience to the table. I don’t see any of the others bringing anything to the ticket.

One of the Fox News talking heads just said they are glad that someone with a ‘deep voice’ is finally running on the Republican side.. :->
The adults have joined the game!

[USN40VET]

I agree. Thompson came across very well at the Iowa gathering that was just televised on CSPAN.

[television is just wrong]

you bet they have.

[seekthetruth]

I saw CSPAN coverage also. First a re-run of the announcement speech he gave on the net, followed by his campaign stop in Iowa. It was great to watch! Looking forward to watching him in other televised campaign stops!

[television is just wrong]

I hope so.

[Caipirabob]

Well darn it, good to see you! Hang around more often!

Does anybody have a link to Thompson in Iowa, C Span?

ROFL!

I went to the cspan site and looked under “politics” and this is the list of videos they have listed on there that can be replayed - this one with Fred Thompson is not on the list yet.

Maybe it will be later.

Welcome to the Frederation. :)

JC Watts could shake things up.

To me, Rudy or Mitt are too liberal to warrant getting on the Thompson Ticket.

The obvious VP is Duncan Hunter.

PERIOD.

Interested?

Because a man who opposes a Federal Marriage Amendment, the border fence, and tort reform is not even remotely close to what I'm looking for in a presidential nominee.
