"HAHAHA Edwards actually just said not to overreact to a nuclear attack on an American city!"

You made that up.

Serious?

ROFL... That’s almost as good as the McCain-Edwards embrace... Huckabee even has the “lean-in”! LOL

From a conservative perspective, there was only one conservative on that stage tonight.

That was Fred Thompson.

I agree with your assessment, I thought Romney appeared far more in command of the issues and far more prepared than anyone else on stage tonight - with McCain a close second. Huckabee and Paul were too general (I understand what Paul is saying with regard to monetary policy, and he’s right, but he’s not explaining it very well). Rudy came off pretty good as well tonight but lacked specifics in the health care debate. Thompson just doesn’t seem to be all that excited about running for President and really doesn’t have any concrete answers or plans. I like his views more than anyone else, but I don’t get the feeling he’s going to fight very hard for anything if he wins.

If tonight was my first exposure to any of the candidates I would have thought Romney was the most articulate, most knowledgeable, and most prepared to be President.

Slowly but surely, they are all being exposed. I look for Fred to finish a minimum of second in SC.

Wow, John Edwards is at his sleaziest slickest trial lawyer best.

It’s really something. I think he just hit Hillz hard without naming her.

Gosh, I've never heard anyone ever say that, especially the MSM.

A Romney/Thompson team would be good; then have Mitt use Fred like Bush uses Cheney (or have Fred use Mitt as Cheney uses Bush depending on your take on the current pair.) Bring Fred in to pinch hit homers and to slam down the Rats as needed. Use him as a chief adviser to keep the agenda on course. Let Mitt burn the energy and leave Fred free to recharge at an undisclosed location with Jeri and the kids as needed. And use him as a final line of defense. Take out Mitt and you'd have to face a mad Fred. That would give anyone pause.

The biggest gripe on Mitt here, outside of the hopelessly anti-Mormon types, is that some don't believe he'll act as he says. What he's saying now isn't a whole lot different than what Fred's saying. The differences aren't great by the standard of historical P/VP pairs. Having Fred on the team should relieve at least some of those concerns. Romney's preferred management style is to look at all the data, to hear all points of view and then pick the best choice. Input from Fred should help.

The biggest gripe on Fred, right or wrong, is that he looks old and lacks energy. That would be negated with the youthful, hyper Mitt at the front of the ticket, but would remain an issue with a Fred/Mitt ticket. The only problem with a Mitt/Fred ticket is that Fred has said he doesn't want to be VP. Everyone says that, but with Fred he may well mean it.

McCain & Rudy were advocating McCain/Kennedy amnesty again. That made me happy because I don't support either of them and I think it will hurt them.

Rudy completely tripped over himself when he talked about Reagan and amnesty. He said that Reagan offered amnesty, then said that what Reagan did wasn't amnesty, then said again it was amnesty. I was completely confused as to the point he was trying to make.
