| 41. I think Fred Thompson will enter |
|
and draw off support for Romney. And I would much rather face Romney in a General Election than Thompson.
The Christian Right is going to have a harder time voting for Romney and he has that Massachusetts problem in the south.
Thompson is an old school conservative which is going to appeal to a lot of currently disgruntled Republicans. And the first thing he would do in office is dismantle Roe.
