National Review Editorial / Fred

"On these issues, Thompson has set a standard for specificity, conservatism, and soundness that we would like to see the other Republican candidates measure up to."

"We encourage the other candidates to follow his lead."

Amen!

YES! Fred/Newt '08!

I'm kind of hoping for a Fred/Huck ticket, but you just sent me over the edge with that one.

[melvin_udall]

If Newt joined the ticket I'd be masturbating in the voting booth.

Huck may be unlikely if Thompson gets it, as he won't need a southern boost. Having read about Huck on taxes, so long as he doesn't get the big office I'd be okay, but still a bit wary.

You're probably right about Thompson trumping Huck's chances. I was gung-ho Huck myself until I, like you, learned more about his stance on taxes. I'm Fred all the way, now. I just wish he'd act more like a candidate.

[melvin_udall]

I meant Huck's chances for VP. Thompson won't need a southerner.

And amen to the candidate comment. I've written them bitching already. It's time to do some interviews.

Eh, Thompson's lost his glow for me. I'm looking at Huckabee and Romney now, respectively.

[melvin_udall]

The recent info I read about Huchabee and taxes has entirely put me off, and that despite my being impressed with him during the debates.

Romney creeps me out. I don't have anything to go on for that, and I realize it's a lousy reason. Something about him just bugs me.

He's named after a glove. That should be enough.
