#1 The trophy-wife factor will kill Thompson's campaign. He doesn't have a chance.

#2 The trophy-wife factor will kill Thompson's campaign. He doesn't have a chance.

"So, in seeking the nomination of my own party, I want to say something a little unusual. I'm asking my fellow Republicans to vote for me and not only for what I have to say to them, but for what I have to say to the members of the other party, the millions of Democrats who haven't left the Democrat Party so much as their party's national leadership has left them." -- Fred Thompson

Don't count on it, McZoid.

#3 I detect some envy from some folks. At least he was single and dating when they met.

#4 Michelle Malkin and HotAir's Allahpundit have become anti-Thompson smear merchants. they republish all the Politico's smears and lies about Thompson, uncritically, then do not bother to correct them when proven wrong.

Is Michelle on drugs?

Trophy wife? I think not. Just becuase a good looking woman marries a politician does not mean she's is a bimbo.

Lets see, she's over 40, has kids with him and is a Lawyer with her JD degree and passed the bar. What are your comparable qualifications? Hmm?

McZoid you are a fripping moron if you honestly beleive that troglodyte crap that you wrote. Go away until you manage to evolve an opposable thumb.

#5 ... that troglodyte crap that you wrote. Go away until you manage to evolve an opposable thumb.

If I'd use ad hominem, I wanna do it with such a skill as OldSpook does! ;-)

#6 I'd be delighted with a Giuliani - Thompson ticket. I wonder if the two could work together.

#8 Is Michelle on drugs?

I dunno. I always respected her work until she took this slant against Thompson. Being against a candidate is fine, but don't publish every rumor/lie/hope as fact against only one or two people.

I have lost most of my respect for her work.

#9 Thompson aligns closer to me than any other. I like him. Rudy is also good choosing.

#10 Vote Huckabee-Hillary for the social-conservative, High-tax nanny-state!

New symbol for socialist republicans is a Sheep.

#11 I took one of those "Which candidate matches your views" questionaires and came up matched closest to Duncan Hunter, with Fred right there behind.

Given that I don't think Duncan Hunter is going to leap to the head of the class, I'm supporting Fred. How about Michael Steele as a Veep pick?
