| | He has voiced support for re-opening the 9/11 investigation. |

| | He is a proponent of secure borders as means to addressing immigration. |

Can he win with a Charo for a wife? I would hope so!
Comment by: TrailerGuyBob TrailerGuyBob - How about President Chester Arthur - that's a president with 2 first names, so now we have a precedent. Go Ron Paul! My first loyalty is for Fred Thompson, but if he doesn't run I'll give it to Ron Paul. Too bad our vote can't be like voting on American Idol where we can vote early; vote often. Oh wait....I guess liberals already do vote that way on elections.
Comment by: SRM1000 I would think that he would be FOR campaign finance reforms as it would permit "big business" and special interest groups to buy elections to get their candidates elected. On a peronal note, he reminds me of Ross Perot without the pie charts.
