Subject: Thompson for POTUS [Rich Lowry]
E-mail:
There seems to be a lot of support for Fred Thompson among conservatives and conservative bloggers, but most D.C. types don't believe he'll run. Have you got a take on this?
ME: I think he’s seriously considering it, more seriously than I would have thought even a week or so ago.
UPDATE:
An e-mail:
Subject: if he weren't running for President
Wouldn’t Thompson be perfect to replace Gonzales. Wealth of experience, easy confirmation, he’s worked for the president (with Roberts’ confirmation) but is not a lackey of the president.
And the other question is: if Fred jumps in, isn’t he basically a McCain that doesn’t kick the right at every opportunity? A strong center right record, and an ability to articulate the party’s message without a wink to the New York Times or a simple reliance on his biography?
