Fred Thompson got into the Republican race with great expectations. And sure enough, just after he got in last month, polling showed Thompson and Rudy Giuliani were just about tied for front-runner.

But since then, Thompson's taken a lot of flak for a lackluster campaign from party activists in Iowa and New Hampshire.

He was and is just wasting everyone's time and money. He doesn't have, and never has had, anything resembling his own platform. I have never seen a guy before this that just wanted to be president for the sake of being president. Amazing.

I wonder if this threatens his May-November romance?

Giuliani, Romney, Thompson or McCain? Three of them are going to lose the nomination and I can't decide who I'm going to enjoy watching lose the most. Well, I think watching Rudy concede next year would be the most satisfying.

Well he still has Tucker Carlson and Chris Matthews who hang on his manliness and wide stance.

Thank the Lord! The bags under his eyes tell me he can't handle the presidency. Seems he can't handle even the campaign!!!!!!!!

Fred Thompson is over qualified! He commanded the aircraft carrier Enterprise and its task force. Was the CEO of American Express trying to buy out RJR Nabisco. He also was a Chief of Staff for the President. Was a key member of the Manhattan Project and was the Director of the CIA. He is a D.A., FBI agent and a former President twice. The latter should excluded him from holding office again but when a superior superman like Fred comes along we should bend the rules.

I would like to see Hillary take Fred as a Vice President because I would love to see what happens when Bill and Fred's wife have some alone time.

That his support is fading is no surprise. That he ever had ANY support is the surprise.

Duh... You would have to be mentally incapatitaed to think Thompson would make a good president for gawd sakes. Nothing like sending this country from the frying pan into the fire. Same goes for the 9-11 freak Rudy.

Oh well, you're talking about people who thought Dubya would make a good president...

Transplant, I don't get why people think Rudy has such a good chance against Hilary. Hilary's staff has positioned Hilary almost to the right of Rudy on so many issues that there is no reason to vote for Rudy. It's not as if Hilary is against 9/11 and Rudy is for it.

If the right wants any chance against Hilary they must nominate Mitt Romney. It is so obvious.

The Republicans should just nominate Erik Prince, the Blackwater Nazi. He's young and nasty, has all the right Christian and military credentials, and personifies the right wing fascist ethic. He loves war and big profits. He would certainly carry the Republican banner HIGH. I'm sure he hates the Democrats, you could just see his smodering hatred when he was being questioned about "accountability" by the House committee Democrats, but he had that perfect military control and studied civility, that quick command of military hardware and jargon. He's married to big Republican money in Michigan and also has southern connections. The closeted gays and stupid Republican women would vote for him because he's so yummy. He's the perfect Republican.

Support fading? He had support?! What I am really looking forward to is the juicy stuff coming out on Guiliani! As it is, he has started to lose it with his claims of "shedding blood for the Republicans" and "saved America on 9/11". Can't wait for the attacks to kick in ...

Well, I surely hope the DEMS have enough balls to bring out whatever they have. They (the DEMS) have not shown much competency lately.
