Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson dropped out of the race Tuesday and, according to a top adviser, can now position himself as a vice presidential candidate.

Just ain’t gonna happen. Thompson will be nobody’s choice for VP. He brings nothing to the table that someone not in the race can bring.

If it’s with McCain for get about it!

AMEN, BROTHER!

Egads, this thread needs a tin foil hat, ya, that is his strategy now, gawleee

I guess I’m going with Mitt....he isn’t the end of the world...although I have a hard time imagining him beating Hillary. Hope I’m wrong.

RINOs take over the Republican Party.

Means what?

RINOS lose 2008 Presidential election.

Grab your ankles

Its Hillery/Obama for the Dems.

OK, I read the article. I tend to think that if Fred says he’s not going to be a VP candidate then he isn’t going to be a VP candidate.

Conservatives are proud of our principles and ideology. We in fact celebrate it. You do not give us enough credit... if ever there were a bedrock of the Republican Party... it is the foundation of Conservatives who have up until 2006... never wavered. We are now in uncharted territory.

I don’t understand why Ann didn’t get on board his bus.

He could be a Dick Cheney-type VP; no Presidential aspirations, but a solid conservative advisor to the President.

IF Thompson is interested in the Veep slot, the only people he would help are Rudy and Mitt. Of course Mitt's problem is that he seems to be deeply disliked by all of his opponents. And we'll have to see if Rudy's "Hail Mary" pass in Florida keeps him alive.

While Fred and McCain get along well enough, Thompson adds little value to Mr. Maverick. Two terse, grouchy, old, white senators from the West and South... that dog won't hunt.

Maybe I need to start praying for a brokered convention.

Dear G-d, let it be for Romney and not McCain!!!

[BunnySlippers]

Plus Fred looks older than dirt. We want someone young enough to run when the next president’s term is up.

Just curious...how do you square this posting with your tagline?

McLame is a champion of amnesty, along with his little round buddy, Ted “the Drunk” Kennedy...

hmm ... you didn't stay sad (and silent) very long?

You seriously do not believe that Fred will link up with this?

[tortdog]

Didn’t take long for you to show up. I thought of you the instant I read this article.

I guess I am done. Tired of settling.
