I see a lot of bloggers we know starting to declare their candidates of choice. You have a fair bit of time to think things through and evaluate everyone. Hope you get to do that lunch sometime.:^) Hard to say, we’ll see. I see a lot of bloggers we know starting to declare their candidates of choice.

Josh Claybourn is a veteran conservative blogger that we both know (he even personally helped us move into my Indianapolis apartment three years ago; I still owe him a lunch) and Andy Jackson has frequently linked to my stuff on his SmartChristian blog. However, I don't share their enthusiasm for Fred Thompson; he's OK, but not my first choice. I don't see a FotF thumbprint on this; it smells more like Carter doing this on his own with some of his blog buddies. The Romney-Marriott story may well have some FotF connection; it might be more anti-Romney than pro-Thompson. Thompson isn't all that great on the social issues, either; it may be more that they'd rather have someone more reliably conservative than Romney get the nomination.
