Who was that masked man - and what did he do with Fred?

Tonight, he showed up! Fred Thompson, the man we've watched on TV, showed up. That big bear finally came alive. I don't know what sparked him, but it was great to see. Thompson was articulate and direct. He was witty and wise. He certainly showed the others what experience and wisdom looks like.

Is it too late? I don't think it's too late for any of them. Romney only has a small lead in delegate votes and we've only gone through 2 primary/caucuses. At this point anyone CAN win. The question really is - Has Thompson energized his base AND can they "steal" votes from the other camps?

Everyone is talking and trying to say what conservatives want to hear. But, as voters, we have to look at not only their current promises, but their track records. I think that's what Fred was trying to point out about Huckabee.

Take a look at where each stands now and in the past. It's surprising. Several are certainly more liberal than they appear. Others are most consistent than you would have thought. Try
