Fred Thompson isn’t all bad, but neither is he all good.
The Clinton machine will eat him up for being a Washington lobbyist for 18 years.
The public is looking for an outside the beltway candidate and Hillary is weak on that point, too.
That’s what makes the outsiders as in non-Washington (Giuliani, Romney, Huckabee) guys look good by comparison.
And I’m not worshipping at any of their feet right now. Wow those three have a liberal streak in them, too.
I’ve never watched “Law and Order” regularly like my wife does. I’ve seen some PC monologues from Mariska Hartigay and such. I get the impression the show has a female-type audience so that’s good for Fred.
Whichever candidate we get will have to have an appeal to the female audience out there and Fred along with the three outside Washington guys seem to have credentials in that area.
When I was watching the debate the other night, I was thinking of which one of these guys could stand on the stage with Hillary and hold their own. Unfortunate as it may be, that is what will determine who many Americans vote for. The “average Joe” isn’t watching now, but in the end, they’ll be watching the debates between Hillary and whomever the GOP candidate is, and that will be the “most informed” that the majority of voters get. If a candidate isn’t a good debater, despite what his credentials or beliefs are, I don’t think he has a chance of election in the general election (this of course is not to say that Hillary is a “good debater”...but she’s pushy and someone will have to be able to push back.)
If Rudy or Fred have baggage the Clinton Chinese Mafia has a U Haul. She is very beatable on a number of sleeze issues.
