I don't want to go too deep on this but a minority of conservatives are sudgesting that in order for them to win in 2008 they need a reaganesqe canidate.

He seems to share some similare qualities.

Either way I look at Mcain...blah
Guliani Blah
Gingrich blah


I don't know too many of the other potential canidates right now.

I don't buy into the whole "electability" thing because many democrats voted for Kerry in the primaries thinking he was "electable."  I think Thompson is to Kerry what a pearl handled colt is to a squirt gun.

I'll probably write in Ron Paul most likely.

Both side's frontrunners currently make me nauseous.

Ever see Thompson debate?  It's like there's no one else in the room.

He has Baker, Meese and several other Reagan cabinet members behind him. If he runs, I think he wins the nomination. If he wins the nomination, the democrats better go with Obama. I've seen Thompson disassemble Hillary on the Senate floor several times. She has zero chance of impressing anyone in the pre-election debates if Thompson is sitting across from her.

If Gingrich was more anti-illegal immigration, I'd vote for him anytime.  I think he would not be electable even if he is the better candidate in many respects.

Toad, you are also not allowed a write-in vote for President. You may do that for any other office but not President.  (I know in SC that is the case)

Depending on running mates, I'm not sure Obama can beat Thompson. Obama has only two advantages. He has no real past or record. He speaks mostly in abstract theory. Those are also tow disadvantages.

Thompson is almost conservative enough on most issues that he may need a more centrist running mate, although I'd prefer he had one at least as conservative as he is, or better yet more conservative. REAL conservative as opposed to what most often passes for conservative these days.

You do realize that Gingrich is the reason why the democrats haven't been in power until just this past term?

If he really wants it, he could split the republican party and win the nomination.  On top of that, he could win the election easily.

I don't think Gingrich can win as the top of the ticket. Not in the general election. He can as a running mate, maybe. Depends on who he might be paired with. Gingrich has a few problems.

Reestablish the Theme of America.  


For the People....


By the People...


One Nation Under God...


One Ring to Bring them Together...


We need Frodo....

I sure do, he was the mastermind of the 1994 election and the contract with America.  I love the guy... I can only fault him on one item, unfortunately its an extremely important issue.  He supports amnesty for 30,000,000 illegal alien criminals.

They already know about his wife and his cancer. They even know he humped Lori Morgan for a while. The researchers for the Democrats are here in Tennessee looking for dirt now. They figure they don't have enough dirt on him yet.
