Why Fred Thompson? by Robert Novak - HUMAN EVENTS

This guy makes me want to vote Republican again! He denounces the huge spending by BOTH parties. He calls for securing the borders from "suicidal maniacs". I could vote for him as long as nothing horrible shows up soon. Anything that does not show up soon will have to be minor or minorly important to his job as a President. How? Because his opponents are all searching for dirt! Anything major will show up really soon or not at all.

Why Fred Thompson? by Robert Novak - HUMAN EVENTS: "Fred Thompson sat at the end of a long table in The Monocle restaurant on Capitol Hill Tuesday night for dinner with some 20 fellow conservatives, mostly journalists. He sent two signals. First, he sounded like a man who has decided to run for president. Second, his candidacy will be something different from other Republicans, in both substance and style.

This was one of the irregular sessions of the Saturday Evening Club, which is not a club and never meets on Saturday. The name was purloined from H.L. Mencken's Baltimore discussion club by R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., editor-in-chief of The American Spectator.
Tyrrell arranges and presides over these events, always featuring a guest newsmaker -- usually a Republican presidential hopeful over the past two years. Former Sen. Thompson was the most intriguing of them because he has become a leading prospect for president even though he has not announced his candidacy and has no real campaign."
