>>>No other GOP candidate could do this, and especially not Freeper Fave Fred.<<<
I’m obviously a Mitt fan, but I think Thompson can hold his own pretty well when faced with criticism. He’s generally best when he can come up with something smug and when he acts non-pluss. That said, I could see him getting broad-sided a lot easier than Romney could, and I’ve seen a few deer in the headlights moments from him.
I do like Romney’s style when dealing with the Democrats. He turns to shoot straight and deliver his barbs in the vehicle of reason. It makes him come across as far more competent and far less nasty than the likes of Hiillary Clinton or Charles Schumer, for instance.
Fred got rolled over by John Glenn during the Chinagate hearings..
