By LISA ORKIN EMMANUEL
Associated Press Writer
MANALAPAN, Fla. - Republican presidential candidate Sam Brownback described his version of private Social Security accounts to a conservative anti-tax group Friday, saying his plan will help the economy and save the federal safety net.

Just as the “Draft Fred” movement has entered another gear, it appears that Focus on the Family’s Dr. James Dobson (a Gingrich supporter) is trying to set it back. In a recent interview, Dobson opined that, although conservative, former Sen. Fred Thompson is not a Christian.

Is Fred Thompson about ready to lay down the Law and Order?
by CHUCK RAASCH
WASHINGTON - Fred Thompson's surprising third-place showing in the latest USA Today-Gallup Poll is certainly a reflection of rank-and-file Republicans' unease about the declared GOP candidates. But it also provides insight into the show-biz requirements of a successful modern candidate.
Thompson, who has oscillated between the political and entertainment culture for 35 years, personifies that cross-cultural appeal more than any Republican now in the field. Simply put, Americans like a little rock star in their presidential candidates. (See Barack Obama).
The question is whether a few polls and some Internet buzz is enough to entice a 64-year-old man with two children younger than 4 and a successful career on NBC's "Law and Order" series to jump into an 18-month meat grinder toward the presidency.
