#2 Fred Thompson seems like a Conservative WetDream, but I seriously doubt he will run.

I WANT TO BELIEVE.

#3 From what I'm reading & hearing he will run.

Rep. Zach Wamp said Monday that former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson is very likely to run for president.

The Third District congressman told the Chattanooga Pachyderm Club, "I had a follow-up conversation with Fred Thompson, and there is a real, real strong possibility that he will run."

Rep. Wamp said he has already lined up over 40 members who are interested in the Thompson candidacy.

#6 Thompson looks better than anyone else I've seen so far (other than Tancredo).

#8 #7: "wrong Thompson - see the UBoat Captain in Red October"

Wrong ship, Frank. Sean Connery was the sub captain; Fred Dalton Thompson was the Admiral on the U.S. aircraft carrier involved in the hunt.

In my book, one of the best movies out there - in spite of Alec Asshole Baldwin.

#11 He was the "reasonable" Admiral on board the carrier.

Also, he stars in Law and Order, the "Boss" Attorney - Arthur Branch. You know, the conservative constitutionalist. :-)

And this month he's subbing for Paul Harvey a lot - give that a listen.

#12 This is why we won't see a Giuliani/Thompson ticket in either permutation. On's a New Yorker; the other plays a New Yorker.
