My Red State Slip is Showing...
Mar. 13th, 2007 10:38 am "Fred Thompson Giving Serious Consideration to Running [For President]."
Because I consider myself much more centrist than most Republicans these days, there are few candidates within the GOP that I could cast a vote for without a bit of a flinch. I also have a few too many Libertarian leanings to fit completely in the Republican mold. Thus, I can't say that I totally agree with Fred Thompson. I do, however, like him very much. He comes across as a straight-shooter, and someone who would work well with folks on both sides of the aisle. I'd also like to think he wouldn't stir the overwhelming vitriol that Bush has, nor that someone like Newt Gingrich might.
As with any possible candidate, more research is required, but I do wish he'd run. He'd make the top of an extremely short list for the 2008 elections.
