By Sean Thompson called out Huckabee for supporting a national smoking ban and for an endorsement he got from a teachers’ union, the National Education Association. Thompson also criticized McCain and Rudy Giuliani on immigration issues and Mitt Romney on health care. Ace of Spades HQ:

By Sean Some tax cuts raise revenues and some tax cuts don’t. Rudy Giuliani, economic genius. 10:02: Romney is asked if the winners of the New Hampshire primaries mean voters aren’t looking for change. His answer: “No.” Mitt stole his one-word, common sense answer from Fred.

That opens at least something of an opportunity for Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson to demonstrate their ability in Florida, South Carolina and other states that were part of George W. Bush's political base. The mainstream Republicans in those states are still looking for a candidate.

By Sean This leaves Fred Thompson as the Republican presidential candidate who may be most electable. He entered the race late and is fifth in the national polls, but my sense is that he would be more acceptable to the base than either Giuliani or McCain and better among centrist swing voters than H...

By Sean Fred Thompson did himself the most good in Wednesday’s debate among Republican presidential candidates in Iowa. I thought Romney was fine — certainly better than Giuliani, McCain or Huckabee — but not as good as Fred Thompson. Giuliani was just okay. Matthew Miller:

By Ken Layne While it won’t be broadcast on teevee — oh hey, there’s a webcast! — the “Values Voter Debate” will still allegedly take place. And the very same leading candidates who are skipping the black-student debate are also skipping tonight’s white-Jesus debate: Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Rom...

Fred Thompson lost his fourth key campaign aide even before having an official campaign. He promised stability in the White House. Hillary Clinton called on Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to resign and be replaced by Judith Giuliani.

By James Joyner Late to the game compared to major rivals Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and John McCain, Thompson toyed with the idea of running throughout the spring but only made his intentions clear in early June when he established the “Friends of Fred Thompson, Inc.,” committee to “test the waters” of a...

BLITZER: Some social conservatives really think that he could emerge as the alternative to [former New York City Mayor] Rudy Giuliani, who's more liberal on some of these issues like abortion rights, gay rights. Is Fred Thompson emerging as sort of the consensus for these social conserv...

By The Huffington Post News Editors While Republicans John McCain and Fred Thompson grab headlines for the foundering of one 2008 presidential campaign and the promise of another, Rudy Giuliani's campaign fundamentals are growing stronger.

“Welch” would be Ted Welch, “the most powerful Republican fundraiser in the South.” Who is committed to Mitt in much the same way Rudy Giuliani was committed to wives one through 7. Thompson Money Man Spoken For [Tennessean] Rescinding on Romney [NYSun]

Rasmussen Reports - The addition of former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson (R) to the list of candidates shakes up the race for the GOP Presidential nomination.
