Could be a possibility. McCain just revamped his whole campaign. He’s been talking on the phone with Fred Thompson and Lamar Alexander. Could be Fred might be looking for a VP slot which would be easier than a presidential slot.
The fear of Fred is strong with this one.
I think this just shows the shallowness of Rudy’s support. Many don’t like him on a significant number of issues... but he’s electable! Give them a more conservative—but electable—choice and they jump ship.
Personally, I’m tired of the political game-playing. I’m supporting the most conservative candidate in the race, Duncan Hunter. When the race narrows, I will continue to support the most conservative candidate.
His name will be sh*t on this forum if he decides not to run. Further, it would lend credit to the theory that his potential campaign... was nothing more than a McCain tactic.
Shoot, even if it’s true, McCain’s still better than Rudy (ugh, did I just say that?)
We love your insight. Another great work! Keep the truth flowing.
The only problem is, the poll says no such thing. He may have siphoned off some Rudy support when he first announced, but where else would it come from? Since then, Thompson is up 2 points anad Rudy is up 7 points. So Thompson's support cannot possibly be coming from Giuliani. Who's down? McCain. There goes your theory.
Thompson is a stalking horse. He announced in order to keep any other conservative from getting traction. He might get in if McCain folds, but not likely
He knows he cannot win, even if the groveling, rabid crusaders here at FR do not.
Do I understand, then, your opinion of Fred Thompson is so low that you believe he’s simply a shill for McCain?
Fred's a leader, not a follower.
Everybody else declared way too soon.
Fred will declare right on time.

Wouldn't that require Rudy being a conservative?
The Republican Mario Cuomo.
It worked with Reagan. What's wrong with being such an excellent communicator that the TV producers want you on their show? Communication is critical. Ninety percent of Bush's problems stem from the fact that he's not good at it. Duncan Hunter has a wonderful set of position papers, but can he connect with people? Not so far, and he has less time than Fred to get it together.
McManiac just thinks that it's his turn to be President!
We had a losing try with Bob Dole in '96, because of that mentality, and although Dole is a good man, he lost! We don't need to repeat that.
We need a Candidate that can win! .............. FRegards
wow I know you are a major Anti-Clinton force here in FR, and I really appreciate the work you do against them. But did you know however that Rudy once said that his policies are almost the exact same as Clintons?
And you have seen the side by side charts of Clinton and Rudy’s stances on things right?
