Both Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham have reported their emails indicate excitement like exists for no other candidate.
All I can state is my anecdotal experience, and that's that the conservatives and Republicans I've talked to, every day folks, are truly excited at the prospect of a Thompson run like no other candidate that's announced. Even Giuliani seems to be at most a "hold your nose and pull the lever" candidate for most conservatives, but Thompson's truly a breath of fresh air. He's a true conservative, not a poseur, and is unafraid to say what he really thinks. We could only hope for a candidate like him.
There's an energy around this man right now that's like nothing I've seen around a Republican since Reagan, and it's certainly far stronger than any of the other candidates have around them. (The press seems fixated on Gingrich - why?!?!).
So what can you do? Register at the grass roots Draft Fred Thompson web site, and sign the online petition urging him to run. Call talk shows, talk to your friends and neighbors. Tell them about Thompson - what he thinks, what he's stated - and allow them to make up their own minds. I'll bet most of them will feel the way I do - that we must do everything we can to get Fred Thompson to run for President.
He's the best bet I've seen for the future of the United States.
