What the Republicans think of Thompson

Thompson also swiped at his leading Republican rivals, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, without naming them, saying: “In 1994, when I first ran, I advocated the same commonsense conservative positions that I hold today.”
Thirteen years ago, Giuliani was a New York mayor who espoused liberal-to-moderate positions on social issues and endorsed Democratic Gov. Mario Cuomo. Romney was a moderate challenging Sen. Edward M. Kennedy in liberal Massachusetts.
Today, some conservatives question Giuliani’s and Romney’s credentials — and Thompson sees an opening for his candidacy.
