Fred is the only true Conservative.
Duncan Hunter and Tancredo fit that description, too.
Wrong!!
Hunter is actually the most conservative, by almost any measure.
But most people recognize that Hunter, and I love him dearly, doesn't have that essential 'charm' thing (for lack of a better word) which is necessary to attract voters from the mushy middle.
And I think a good number of people likewise are seeing that Fred Thompson is .... not only too old, but that he lacks the drive and stamina that is essential in defeating the Democrats and running this nation.
McCain has a loose screw occasionally, and Guliani is a flaming liberal.
Brownback dropped out yesterday.
Huckabee is kinda cool, but I don't think the nation is ready for another Arkansas nominee.
That leaves Romney, a man whom I find very appealing as a candidate.
Smart, quick witted, dont take much gruff, great family values man, business experience and political saavy.
Aside from a small percentage of Mormon haters, I think he would do excellent in the general election, ESPECIALLY when comared to the Hildabeast.
