But!
Could a Thompson/Rice ticket beat a Clinton/Obama ticket?
It's fairly east to visualize a Clinton/Obama ticket on the horizon. No way Obama is going to win the primaries (I don't think Blacks turn out all that well for the primaries so no help there) and no matter how liberal the liberals think they are when the curtain closes and no one can see they aren't going to vote for a Black guy. The US just is not there yet.
However, I can see Barrack Hussein Obama as Hillary's choice for VP and it would make really good sense for the Dems to put him there. It'd lock up 95% of the Black vote and give the libs who really don't like Hillary an excuse to vote for her.
Thompson is the only viable conservative who can beat Hillary and not because he's that great but because the unwashed masses will recognize him everytime they watch a law and order re-run. Rice is the obvious counter to Obama.
So who wins the presidency in a Thompson/Rice vs Clinton/Obama race?

It's about more than winning. We 'won' the last two, but we got bigger government, more infringement on liberty and an intractable and expensive 'war'. I'm not sure what we won.

It's more about what we didn't lose...

Condoleeza Rice is a fine and bright woman. But she has never been elected to anything. She has no demonstrated ability to work within the political system. She hasnt exactly been aces at State (neither was Powell, another former conservative favorite).
Fred's issue is his lack of experience. He needs someone to counter that. A governor with multiple terms under his belt, from someplace other than the South, would be ideal. If Jeb's last name were anything else I'd push for him (FL not being really south).
And Blacks aren't going to vote Republican no matter what. If they had a Thompson-Harold Ford ticket, they still wouldnt get elected.

Don't be fooled,
again,
VOTE THEM ALL OUT.
Or suffer the consequences.
Do you really want 4 more years of: over-crowded congested roads, under-funded failing infrastructure, daily gang violence, tons of drugs coming over our open borders, drugs sold on every campus, a public school system with a curriculum that prepares kids for nothing, out-of-date, over-crowded class rooms, rising tuition rates, long waits at hospital emergency rooms, under-staffed hospitals, rampant disease, HMOs, high taxes, soaring gas prices, huge trade deficits, crippling national debt, pedophiles living next door to you, etc.? Because whichever problem we look at, neither party, not the Republicans or the Democrats has a solution. They both promise change, than pursue the same failed policies of the last 50 years, because politicians will promise anything to get elected.

Do you even realize you revived a dead thread from last year for that incoherent, repeated copypasta?
