You’re right, as much as I would like to see someone like Hunter or Huckabee win the nomination, it’s looking like the only candidates who have a chance are Rooty, Romney and Thompson. (However, at this time four years ago, Dean was seen as a foregone conclusion.)
And when it comes to tort reform, Thompson is totally States Rights. Check this out from an email I received...
“Historically, tort laws have been matters for decision by the states. Not all states deal with such matters in the same way, and problems that exist in some states may not be present in others. What is a problem in New York may not be a problem in New Mexico, and the approaches to problem solving may be different in Tallahassee than in Topeka.
Conservatives have traditionally respected the rights of the states to identify and address their own problems. They have typically opposed one-size fits all solutions dictated by Congress, believing that people who have their feet on the ground in their communities are in a better position to deal with their problems than bureaucrats who are far from the scene in Washington, DC.”
Put this against the flopping of Mitt and McCain, the liberalism of Rudy, the immigration stance of Huckabee, I’ll take Thompson.

Yep.
I can survive any of those running right now, right or left, to be honest. Made it through Jimmy Carter, made it through Bill Clinton....I’ll ‘make it through’ whoever gets the win this time around as well.
I could grit my teeth and vote for Romney, I could end up actively supporting Thompson.
But I can’t vote for Guiliani. Aside from the previous post detailing specifics...Rudy has another problem that really worries me.
When he gets bored (often) his personal life becomes very very messy, just like Bill Clinton’s. And just liek Bill Clinton, he’s very arrogant about it.
We can’t afford another couple of years right now along the lines of 1997 and 1998.
