“I cannot for the life of me understand why Fred Thompson polls so low and Duncan Hunter isn’t even on the chart!
This world is upside down and backwards if ya ask me.”
I hear that. I think Fred’s problem is that he’s not looked to good on stage (sad but true) and he’s done nothing except come up with boring, very good, positions on things. In other words, too much substance and not enough flash. It’s _really_ sad that in today’s Presidential campaigns substance doesn’t cut it.
Hunter has a somewhat similar problem. While he’s good on substance, he doesn’t seem to really excite people. Plus, he’s “just” a congressman.
Their needs to be a "This is serious business" campaign. The Presidency is a serious job, not a circus act. One would think that given fairly recent history with the Bush-Clinton regime folks would realize this and actually look at who has the correct record on the issues.
Instead, they are waiting to "be excited."
