Will Fred get Newts blessing?

The buzz now is that in late September, after Fred formally announces--- yes I think we are all groaning a bit about having to wait till September--- Newt will give his blessings to Fred. For those of us who hold Newt, father of the Contract with America, in such high regard, this is a good buzz to hear. It would seem the most logical ichoice. One of Newt's top people, Rich Galen, is now on the Fred Team.
Should you like to read more, The Politico has an article about this.

I for one think this is great positive and only adds credibiltiy to conservative credentials.

Go Fred!--but announce already!

Thompson IS pro-life

Well, it has been a few weeks now since the whole "Fred Thompson is a pro-abortion lobbyist" thing came out. I havent commented on it up to now because, as a staunch pro-lifer, I wanted to see how things panned out. I had a hard time buying the whole thing and frankly didn't pay a whole lot of attention to it since his voting record was pro-life and I have heard on several occasions recently say he is pro-life and speak out on behalf of life issues.

That said, a good summary of the situation can be found in a LifeNews article by Steven Ertelt.
They can't find evidence that he did this, the LATimes, which I am sure looks for ANY reason to jab a conservative, had to recount part of the article. It was based on leftists saying that it happened. That said, could he have spoken to someone working on the issue for the pro-abortionists? Sure. As a lawyer, according to Thompson, he may have given consultation to another lawyer on the issue, but I think they threw this up and it didnt stick.

At least this "crisis" is based on a real issue and not an attack on the attractiveness of his wife.

An-ti-ci-pa-tion, Anticipaaation is making me wait

Remember the old ketchup commercial? I kind of feel like that now. We are all anticipating the official word that Fred Thompson is jumping with both feet into the water.

He has the anticipation bump in the polls. Lets keep the momentum rolling with an announcement. We dont want him to take a dip before the announcement. It is kind of like gambling. You should always quit while you are ahead or you risk losing it all.

I honestly hope he doesn't wait too long because I think that some people may start to get tired of the waiting.

We all know he is going to run. Lets kick things off and start the next phase.

RUN FRED RUN!
