I think the VP question is in case no one gets enough votes to win the nomination. Who can you cook a deal with, to combine votes to win. I think they’re thinking Fred could have enough votes to help put someone else over the top on delegate count.

I hope Fred does not do this and I don’t think he will. He is the only one who is talking about some issues that I really care about like Social security for instance. It would be hard to do I know, but I can’t see any reason to believe anyone else would try. I care about the future for the sake of my children.

So any other candidate might be a decent person but I know they aren’t going to do the issues that are important to me [maybe right to life]. And maybe they are started in the right direction for different and wrong reasons. So anyone on the Republican side while they might be okay on some issues and silent on others is just going to amount to the lesser of two evils.

Fred has absolutely no benefit from being VP. He likely could not run in 8 years due to age, or maybe not even in 4. Who knows. So he sits there and cannot do any of the things he wants to do and has to support someone else who is a lesser candidate. That would be they want his help but there is NOTHING they could give him in return. He wants to help this country but that will not get it done unless he were the VP and the president dies, and who wants that to happen? Not me.

Such an ignorant question.

I don’t want to see a VP Thompson. If they don’t want him so be it, but there is no one else I can get enthused about or donate to or support strongly. I might be able to vote for them by taking a tranquilizer.

None of the other candidates have anything they could offer Fred so he could even think about being VP. All the usual reasons do not apply. Fred seems motivated to do something to help the country, but I doubt that any of the others even have a chance to get anything done. It is going to be more of the same old can’t get enough votes to get anything done.
