Fred Thompson for President in 08?

Run Fred run!
Fred Thompson has been a shoe salesman, a truck driver and a factory worker before he became a lawyer and a law maker. My kind of guy. Spring is coming on fast, so here is my horse racing analogy.

In a strange election cycle where presidential candidates are raising and spending millions of dollars 18 months out, a closer like Thompson can wait for the not so exciting front runners to get locked into a speed duel and tire on the first turn while Fred stalks them from a comfortable distance. By the time people start paying attention to the race this summer and fall, he could be in a perfect position to make his move on the far turn and run past the spent front runners.

But then again, politics has nothing to do with horse racing. Never mind.

Now if this were a NASCAR race, Thompson would be taking four tires and fuel, giving up early track position for a late run on fresher tires.... Oh, never mind.

Run Fred run!

I was going to vote for Condi, but it appears that will not be possible or at least productive since if she does not officially run, then she has NO CHANCE.

So, I am going to vote for Romney!

I can only hope that religious bigitory doesn't play a large role in people seeing the "fruits" of this man's life and not focus on how he belives differently will somehow harm others. No one "Knows" if his religion is wrong or right, but they claim that he will somehow lead others down the incorrect path. Doesn't work for Harry Reid. He sure doesn't follow some script for Mormons.

I say let's judge him by his actions and not his beliefs.

FAR.
