If you heard the Republican debate...

You would understand why Fred Thompson is, at the same time, the most intellectual and conservative candidate. My jaw drops when I hear various talk radio guys talking about supporting McCain or Romney. Neither are proven conservatives. Both will bring the country 4 more years of that same Washington thing that has a history of being so efficient and effective.

Of the 2, Romney is the most problematic. He's slippery. His attack ads are a sign he's a politician rather than a statesman or a gentleman. If he had something to say, like Fred Thompson, negativity would be unnecessary.

I can't figure out why Fred's campaign doesn't take off.

At all.
