While religious conservatives have not fallen in love with Thompson it is always possible many, if not all, will support Romney. His chief advisor on life issues is the well known conservative lawyer James Bopp, Jr. My interview is here and he makes a case for social conservatives to pick someone who can actually run a campaign and govern. (And although the interview was conducted before the third party threat was raised, he does not strike me as a fellow who’d do anything to increase the chances of a Hillary presidency in the event his man didn’t win. )
