“”LOL. That’s certainly not much of a recommendation for President!””

Being on a conservative political forum I probably still said it too dryly, the point was that your suggestion of Thompson as veep didn’t make sense, he is about 65 for one thing, and his appeal to conservatives is only as President, not as a second banana for 8 years, that would be better filled with an eye to 2016.

Don't agree. Many VP's were not "groomed" for Pres. Better to just have a team that works well together for 4 or 8 years IMO.

Thompson's appeal only for President? Not necessarily. If a better candidate came along fickle conservatives would drop Thompson like a hot potato and accept him gladly in the #2 spot (especially if after he finally announces he makes one or two large gaffes which is more than likely).
