A Thompson Convention Nomination?

Steven Stark lays out a scenario whereby all the other candidates, none of whom have wholehearted Republican support, cancel each other out, paving the way for Fred Thompson to receive the nomination at the convention.

"When conventions deadlock, history teaches us that yesterday's disappointments become tomorrow's stars. If McCain can't stampede to the nomination and Super Tuesday doesn't produce another clear front-runner, we may not have heard the last of Fred..."

I find the idea highly unlikely, though appealing...but stranger things have happened. Whoever would have thought the 2000 election wouldn't be decided for 36 days?

Exactly.

Don’t get my hopes up...that’s mean.

Harding, or Taft?

Good grief, give it up.

[reasonisfaith]

I’ll never give up.

[skinkinthegrass]

Thanks, for the thread/post.
Good grief, give it up.....did G. Washington @ Valley Forge in 1777?...no....While F.D.T. isn't W.G...
He's very likely the best of the lot........We mustn't let ABCNNBC_b_s ($hrillary/DNC) pick our candidate(s).

You all are dreaming. I wish this were possible. However, Thompson getting out before super tuesday pretty much will make him a non factor if we get to a brokered convention. Conservatives best shot is that Dick Cheney emerges and shows a little intrest in the job. Could you imagine the liberals and the MSM reacting to that? It would be worth the price of admission.

[yldstrk]

Yeah, for Cheney.

[Dog Gone]

Thompson’s best hope is for a VP nod. That job doesn’t require setting your alarm clock.

[MeanWestTexan]

Unlikley, but I hold out hope.
