Are some women less conservative than these men? I don’t think it’s the “trophy wife” issue, as much as the press likes to play that up. Fred’s ex-girlfriends and ex-wife are solidly in his corner. Can we get some female input?

You know...I've been married 36 years and I would certainly never hold against a man the right to begin a new family if that is what he wants. Fred seems like a very gentle yet strong man, good husband and father. Mitt Romney is just too slick for me, too prepackaged, and makes me uncomfortable.

As for Jeri choosing a much older man, she looks very much in love when she looks at him. After the age of 40, what does it matter? I saw Judy Giuliani in her interview last night. Sorry…she doesn’t have what it takes to make a great first lady. In my opinion, it is due to her lack of interest in politics and her role as “the other woman” in Rudy’s previous marriage.

Fred Thompson is the only choice for me. Fred is the WE THE PEOPLE candidate. We asked him to run...and he stepped up!

Maybe more women need to hear FROM Jeri Thompson, and not just ABOUT her from the misleading MSM.

She's intelligent, gracious and articulate ~ a huge asset for Thompson.

She definitely helped influence my support for Fred.

Input from a woman:

I’ve been a conservative woman all of my adult life because of homeschooling and children and being married to a vet. I think a woman with a brain who thinks logically would be a conservative.

I admit to a small amount of illogical thinking i.e. Fred looks like my father in law did while he was alive, I have no good pictures of my FIL so I collect Fred pictures. So, illogically I like how Fred looks. His wife is a beautiful lady [wasn’t sure about that at first]. Fred [illogically] looks alive with Jeri and the children with him which I feel good about.

More than anything though is the logical mind, I agree with his thoughts and principles and things he stands for. That counts for a lot more.

A lot of younger women that I know of go on feelings and emotions and can’t think straight. I don’t like being around such females.

But Jeri Thompson is a firm conservative, I can really like that.

I like Jeri. She is one of Fred's strongest assets in my opinion.

However, many women were dumped by their husbands who ran off with trophy wives and so they may have certain (perhaps subconscious) biases against Jeri and Fred. Or, it's possible that they have never approved of May-December relationships and won't give Fred and Jeri a break. It is an emotional and visceral reaction that the Thompsons cannot really do anything about, however unfair it may seem.

I don’t care about Fred’s “trophy wife.”

I think women tend to be more intuitive and have a sense that Fred Thompson’s heart isn’t into this.

Heck, I don’t even think you have to be intuitive to see that — it’s obvious.

Women don’t have that “good ol’ boy” thing that Fred Thompson seems to exude and that men seem to be drawn to - cigar and all.

Well, I want more than a good ol’ boy who’s hearts not into the job for President of the United States of America.

I’m a female.

My main issues are Fred Thompson voted YES on granting normal trade relations status to Vietnam and “most-favored nation” status for communist Chinese.

I can trace my other issues as a domino effect from there. So I’ll leave it at that.
