Thompson ‘Hasn’t Made His Case’ to Conservatives
Mum’s the word on what Fred Thompson said last Saturday to the super-secret Council for National Policy, a consortium of conservative and religious groups who are looking for a Republican candidate to embrace for 2008.
Veteran leader of the political right Richard Viguerie, who was in the audience, allowed afterwards only that the former Tennessee senator “hasn’t made his case” yet to conservatives looking for someone to walk in the shoes of Ronald Reagan.
“Hopefully, Fred Thompson could be that person,” said Viguerie, who has rejected all of the current GOP presidential lineup as unacceptable. “I’m open to Thompson because the choices are not very exciting to conservatives,” he added.
