Fred Thompson is out of the race

LoudmouthMormon · Profuse Pontificator

I'm grateful to the contribution to the national debate that Thompson brought. I'm glad he won't be president.

(I feel the same way about Ron Paul, whether he has dropped out or not.)

Okay so this is a bit conspiratorial, but I've believed all along that Thompson (who is a close personal friend of McCain) was only in the debate to get on a VP nomination, most likely from McCain...

Did Thompson even try to run. I admit that I was excited about him before he entered the race. I liked his politics and his down to earth, soft spoken demeaner. Then he entered the race and I hardly ever heard from the guy. It was like he was invisible or something. Of course now he can go back to hollywierd and the potential audience who knows his name will be much larger for his T.V. roles.

I don't think he has endorsed anyone yet because he'd like to be the VP for whomever.

I can see McCain choosing him if he gets the nod. McCain's lettuce statements and gang of 14 errors are going to get him into trouble.

I don't even want to think of who McCain would pick as judges... it would be just as bad as a Democrat in office. I feel the same about Huckabee.

The only two left in the race that I would trust to pick judges would be Romney and Paul... even though you all know how I feel about him, I do think he would choose righteous men to judge.

I've thought about a Romney-Thompson possibility... I enjoyed his input in the debates as well. He could strengthen McCain's pansyass stand on immigration, though.

I had some clients in today who were disappointed that Thompson was out.

I asked them who they were going to vote for.

They said there was only one choice left., Mitt Romney ... and these are die hard evangelicals mind you.

They both called the Huckster, Giulani and McCainiac liberals and Paul scary. (Their words, not mine)

They said Romney is the only one who is going to be able to defeat Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriend's husband.

I told them that I agreed.
