I'm intrigued by the idea of Thompson running, but if he's tight with that weak-kneed, Beltway smitten, do-nothing politician Frist, in addtion to McVain, then I have some serious doubts about Fred's ability to lead the conservative charge. If Fred is going to run and win he will need the cooperation and support of all Republicans (plus some others). Also, Fred and Frist are from the same state, so one would expect a gentleman (and especially a Southern gentleman) to show good manners. I'm not worried that Fred is talking with the former Senate Majority Leader. Frist might have some good advice. If we trust Fred to be President, we can trust him to listen to people who we don't necessarily want in leadership positions, but who nonetheless might have valuable insights and connections.

Fred is probably the only Republican I'd vote for, for President in 2008.
To: Always Right
"I don't know, I heard once that Thompson did not come to a complete stop at a stop sign. Such disrepect of the law has to raise questions about his suitability for the Presidency."
Yes, but he had already stopped twice for the previous one...Stop sign offsets, and all, don't ya' know.

Very good work,thank you. It will make it easier to pass information along to others who are disgusted with those running so far.

SE MOM:
Are you noticing a common theme in reports about Fred? Like he may wait a while, even months, before announcing? It's being well emphasized, it seems, in nearly every article.
I wonder if he's trying to psych the opposition into thinking he won't run, or total confusion?
:O)

:) Here's my take- based on nothing but my perspective and what I've read. He has contractual obligations with ABC Radio and Law & Order. If he's going to run- he'll have to work through some legal contract issues. That's one part of the scenario. The other one- simply put- a lot of folks are getting his name out there NOW without his even announcing an exploratory committee.
Doesn't cost a penny.
My hunch- he'll meet in 2 weeks with the Congressmen on the Hill who want to talk with him- tie up some other business...and come out in May.
However- the suspense building may force his hand a little sooner than May.
God knows it's killing me!!!!

Now if only Fred can be re-baptized in the Church of Dobson, it can be all systems go.
To: Theo
As well he might, just so long as he doesn't make judgments about Fred's belief's without knowing anything about him.

Yes, but he had already stopped twice for the previous one...Stop sign offsets, and all, don't ya' know. Actually, he paid me $10 for the offset I created that time I stopped longer at a stop sign than I technically had to, to let another car go through from a different direction.

I'll take a friend of Frist over a friend of Brady and McCarthy any day of the week!
