In the aftermath, do you really think the country is willing to take a chance on another lazy, not very intelligent good-ole-boy-you'd-like-to-have-a-beer-with? Not hooker's chance in church. I love watching the repub's scrambling to justify a crappy stable of candidates. Please, please nominate Thompson.

Get real! Libertarians and fiscal conservatives will not vote for the Huckster. Social conservatives and libertarians will not vote for Rudy. Fred Thompson and Ron Paul are the only two candidates who can unite the fiscal and social conservatives and bring in crossover independent votes while still keeping their base. “Either Huckabee or Guliani will be the nominee.”

It would have been more savvy to ask the question in a way that made it appear serious - you might have caught your opponents investigating the grenade that way, Nora.

Leave it to the liberal media to take something and blow it out of proportion. Fred has a strategy for the primary. Fred was never going to win in New Hampshire and he knew that from the beginning. For Fred to win, he has to take the south and he can certainly do that. Once again, people are trying to downplay Fred and the success he is having reaching mainstream America. It scares the Dems because Fred will tell the truth. Keep trying to put him down because if he gets the nomination, Hitlerry is in deep trouble! Fred Thompson is hardly imploding.

He is taking the campaign directly to the voters, because he believes the intelligence, creativity, and will that made America great resides with the people. I expect some strategists to fall out, because they only know "the accepted way" to run a campaign. That approach has brought us nothing but republocrats in recent elections. Rank and file American voters are tired of it and are ready for someone who can relate to us. If Fred could dump the "campaign trail" and cover the US in his pickup truck, he'd win by a landslide.

What a joke, and anybody with half-a-brain realized this long ago. The funny thing is I keep thinking that Michael Savage was right: it'll end up being Romney vs. Clinton, and Romney will win by a landslide. Giuliani won't win over the social conservatives, Clinton is too hated to be elected, and Ron Paul (as much as I want him to win over anyone else) won't win the GOP nomination nor a 3rd party run (where the best he could do is help Clinton win). God, my predictions are so depressing that I hope I'm wrong. In the end, a Thompson presidency would probably be the best option considering what a lazy oaf he is.
