“A big guy that exudes power and a huge dose of southern charm....”

LOL....guess I just don’t see it.

I do know some wonderfully charming, very handsome, and powerful southern men from Tennessee, but not all big, ‘powerful’ southern men are charming (or sexy)....Think fellow Tennessean Al Gore ;) ewww, ewww, ewww

wooing? LMAO, based on what? A southern accent? Unlike his wife, he’s not even the least bit attractive.

Just because it doesn't make any sense you you, doesn't mean that it hasn't been happening, and won't continue to happen. I stand by my statement.

Every woman in America needs to know that Hillary talks a good game about violence and women, but this YouTube exposes how a man who trafficked in women, including young women, laundered 645K to the DNC through Charlie Trie. He made many visits to the Clinton White House and spent two nights in the residence quarters. Please see that others see this -— http://youtube.com/watch?v=jx1JDiXtwsQ

“She’s competent, she’s tough.” She wasn’t very tough on her husband from 1992-2000, was she?

Don' think she had much confidence in him,either.

Yet for all that support, both candidates are showing early vulnerabilities wooing voters of the opposite sex.

With Hillary, this is understandable. Would I want to listen to a screeching voice like that? What if my wife sounded like that!?

With Thompson, as a man it's hard for me to say whether he is attractive or not - that's for the women to decide. I will say that his decicion to marry a woman decades his junior raises eyebrows about possible shallow character, and may make some women (quite understandably) uncomfortable with him. That's a choice he made earlier in life, and he must live with the consequences.

Of course, all of this is immaterial when set beside competance and ideology.

Thompson is doing better in the polls than most who have actually declared. He definitely has some momentum.

"What exactly is she competent at doing?"

Hillary is VERY good at sending her goons out to threaten and intimidate women who have had affairs with her husband. I'm sure LOTS of women can identify with that, helping their husband cheat on them.

Fred is winning me because he seems a lighter version twin of Russell Thompkins Jr - the MAGICAL singer of THE Stylistics

Interesting analysis of the crowd at a recent Clinton visit to New Hampshire:

http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070807/NEWS01/208070358

• While the former president “completely believes” his wife would be an excellent president, he does not think she will be elected, at least not in 2008.

• The audience for the rally was “heavily populated by alpha females.” The report went on to say, “These were not ‘earth mothers’ or ‘madonnas,’ but definitely ‘goddesses,’ women who were aware of and comfortable with their own power.”

• Men in the audience were guarded in their statements about Hillary Clinton, but women were committed.

• The senator’s campaign staff had “an astounding number of alpha females,” but no alpha males.

The results were collected through trained observations of the crowd...

“he would mean what he says.”

The bit about Hillary wowing her own gender is bogus. There have been several articles about how women dislike her.

Here’s one: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1808602/posts

You should have seen her hit a tv reporter with her purse on the steps of the Capital in Little Rock, because she did not like a question he asked Bill about. LOL the cartoons flew, one In the Ar. Democrat Gazette was priceless, showed her with little boy hiding behind her, yelling hit him again with your purse Hillary.

why fred? because based upon her tv viewing of his shows,

During the last election here in California, Tom McClintock was the absolute best candidate running for ANY statewide office, but he lost.

Arnold, on the other hand, is hated by the far left and has turned his back on his own party, and he still won overwhelmingly.

Here, in the third millennium, it's celebrity that sells. And if the GOP wants to win, they'll nominate Fred or Rudy. The best we can hope for is getting the most conservative celebrity available, and that is Fred.

It may not be right, but that's the way it is.
