GOP Presidential Primary Landscape in Dramatic Shift

I can almost hear the ominous "chng-chng" from Law & Order as I peruse blog after blog for perspectives on the almost certain entry by one Fred Thompson into the race.

There have been many contemplating this development for quite some time, but the proverbial writing on the wall (wait: that signals an end, not a beginning, but stay with me) was the announcement by U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (TN-7) that she was quitting an active role in the Mitt Romney campaign and endorsing Thompson.

The real question now, as A.C. Kleinheider ably points out, is whether the buzz surrounding Fred's non-candidacy can be sustained once he announces for reals.

So, we'll see.

And, in the meantime, what's up with Al Gore?

Major party members, here are your dream tickets for 2008:

Gore/Obama

-and-

(F) Thompson/Rice

No? Why not?

I'll take mine - no complaints. I bet mine beats theirs.

That would be TN/IL vs TN/(CA?).

I bet mine loses in TN, though. Too many kool-aid drinkers still. It's starting to remind me of Idaho and Utah.

Problem is Condi and Fred are CFR members.
How about Ron Paul?
