um...no...I followed and supported Thompson, the reason he waited so long to get in was he was just being dumb, he thought that he could wait while the other candidates beat each other up and jump in. It didn't work
I don't know that much about him but if his thing is the so-called Fair Tax, he hasn't got a chance.

Not everyone thinks that the money in our pockets belongs to the government and is just waiting for them to decide how much to leave us.
1) Too weak an argument for most voters. He needs to make the second argument first, and then explain that he had legal authority to do so.
2) Except that when he does that, he's opening himself up to all sorts of attacks. "Governor, what made you think that it would work in the first place?" "Why would a conservative impose a massive entitlement on a state?" "What in your core philosophical approach to government led you to believe that this was a conservative position?" "How do we know that you won't do it again?"
The problem with offering a choice between a faux Democrat and a real Democrat, is that the conservatives will be tepid about supporting him and the liberals will already have a candidate.--Odysseus

Absolutely NO on Christie.

Anyone who buys into the Global Warming Alarmist Cult is absolutely not qualified to be President.Olde-style, states' rights conservative. Ask if this concept confuses you.

No to Christie and Romney. Any politician from that part of the country is a RINO at best. Most of the states in the northeast have a self imposed cap and trade tax that purchase carbon credits. What a farce global warming is, and will result in lost jobs and revenues. One state in that area pulled out.

No to Christie, Romney, West and Paul.
Yes to Cain, Palin, Bachman, hell, the field isn't even settled yet.

My only objection to West is that he's too new to the house, but he is intensely knowledgeable on issues related to the global jihad. He'd make a great Secretary of State or Defense in a Cain, Palin other Republican administration, though. As for the no votes, Newt is another no-go.
