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.

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

---

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.

Das da way I see it!

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!

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

[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!

[Caipirabob]

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

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

Welcome to the Frederation. :)

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.

Do you happen to remember which city? Probably Des Moines or Sioux City.

We just went to see him this afternoon in Davenport. Not a very big crowd, but the only reason I knew about it was from national coverage that he was speaking across Iowa this week after his announcement. I looked it up on his website. Local media pretty much ignored he was coming.

I thought he looked and sounded great. He even took questions from the crowd after he spoke.

I hope that you are right about him getting the nomination. He is the only one I am actually excited about. I would never vote Dem, but I really don’t want to have to vote for Rudy or Mitt.

Scrap the lot of 'em.

Remember this guy? Some of his campaign ads from 2006 are still on You Tube - One sharp man - conservative - doesn't pussy foot around an issue or a person.

Take a look - and while you're in You Tube - look at some more of him -

Outlines his idea of conservatism -

This ones great - Steele support for stem cell research on existing embryonic stem cell lines, not embryonic, same as Bush - there's a kicker at the end

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.

Perhaps you MISSED this Gem. Bookmark it.. it's a keeper.

"You know how many states have affirmatively approved gay marriage? State legislatures? Zero." ~FDT

Freddy said that... The SAME DAY that California's State Legislature Passed Gay Marriage for the SECOND TIME.

Policy Wonk ?? LOL

Next time use a Sarcasm Tag !!

[Pistolshot]

Actually, of the ones left, Duncan Hunter is the best VP material.
