I haven't really bothered to research Thompson all that much. I do know a little about him, such as he wasn't born rich and that he has a CDL and has worked as a truck driver. He is also the only candidate that I am aware of who has a website devoted specifically to truckers. That alone makes him worthy of further investigation on my part, which I will do when I am next at home for a few days.

OK, just a couple of thoughts:

It's respectable that you're covering candidates, but it would be nice if you could be more thorough in your coverage.

Also a title that lets folks know you're covering them might bring more readers than a title that is just the candidate's name.

Just a couple thoughts. Do with them what you will.

I'm with Mason on this one. I haven't done much either to research Thompson. I'm pretty sold on Huckabee myself. I like the sound of President Huckabee . I like that he's credible, likeable and respectable.

I usually don't get too into the Presidential Race much until it gets a bit closer. A lot of the goings on now just seem ridiculous to me. Most of these front runners I suspect will wear themselves out with the voters by the time the election rolls around. So maybe Huckabee (or Thompson) will be a breath of fresh air after Romney, Guilani and McCain bore us all to death. Time will tell.

Overall I like Thompson, but I'm really waiting to see him in the next debate to form a better opinion.

Don't worry there is time. In addition, when I say I will do something I do it. Therefore, between now and election day I will be looking for stuff on the conservative candidates. along with my daily thoughts and opinions.
