Fred has made good points without attacking others in his previous debate appearances and those have been pretty much ignored. I also notice the short clips the media likes to show often contain a large percentage of attacks and are short on actual point the politicians are trying to make. It makes watching the clips instead of debates a way of getting a complete and often slanted view of the debaters.

A Thompson/Hunter ticket would be the best for our country IMHO. Huckabee is Clinton Lite…Thompson is the best nominee for the Republicans.

Rather than fight on two fronts, he is taking one player outright... not dividing his attention, and he probably feels that mccain will be easier to outcoment and box in (which is probably true given history). so rather than come out and take everyone on... he took out the biggest guy, and figured the rest. after all, you beat the biggest guy, you beat the ones under him. end of story. no need to take all of them on at once and spread yourself thin. just take out the leader in each debate, and not worry as much about the others as they will be all diluted swinging at each other.

He IS the ONLY conservative running. I am hoping that Rush will focus on him today, and that the NRA will just go ahead and endorse him already. Listening to Romney last night was painful, he sounds like a democrat candidate...he even uses their favorite buzz word "change" - what a disaster. The only thing holding us all back from rallying behind Fred! is the fact that we're all scared about what everyone else is thinking. If we keep this up much longer we will be stuck with McCain, and if he does end up winning, it won't be with conservative votes. Fred Thompson is our only hope to take our party back to it’s roots.

The more knowledgable they become, the warmer they get for Fred...it's unavoidable. There's just that much difference between him and the rest of the field....he's clearly the only president of either side of the aisle.

He showed the seriousness at stake this election and at this particular debate. For anyone that once thought Fred was out of this campaign, will have to rethink that notion. Fred is clearly the ONLY conservative still in the race. He will get my vote and most likely the majority of Republican voters after seeing this performance. Fred won decisively tonight.
