This coming from a Slick Willard supporter??

FRed looked fine, from the snippets I saw.
Fred Thompson was the Minority Counsel, Hillary was a glorified intern.
This coming from a Slick Willard supporter??
Thanks for the info. I understand she is not an effective attorney and assume Fred can think on his feet while she cannot.
The Democrats [Sam Dash] were in charge of the Democrat staff [Hillary].
The Republicans [Fred] was in charge of the Republican staff.
Fred worked mostly with Sam Dash and a few others at the top of the Dem staff. Hillary was a bottom feeder. Fred was at the top on the other side.
Fred was aware of what was going on with the Dem staff and had uncomplimentary things to say about them. He thought there was unprofessional conduct with the Dem staffers although he never named names. However, he liked Sam Dash and thought he had integrity.
Fred thought the staffers [including Hillary] were a tail end that was wagging the rest of the dog.
There may be issues between Fred and Hillary because of that, but he doesn’t get specific in his book and never named her, but he sure was not impressed with the Dem staff.

“Fred vs. Hillary will look like Reagan vs. Mondale.”
I disagree. Hillary is no Ronald Reagan.
After the interview, did anyone from the Thompson camp suggest that Timmy boy be shot on sight like Hildabitch’s cronies said???
I would have liked that statement six weeks ago but I’m much more angry now than I was then. Reading from the purists around here and their tantrums/pouting, I am disturbingly eager for the big split to occur so that the purists go their way and the non-statists go ours
I used to media-train people for a living. Russert was relatively nice to Thompson because as you said, Thompson controlled the interview (i.e., it wasn't for lack of trying to savage him). One of the advantages to talking slowly and deliberately, and verbally examining an issue in response to a reporter's question, is that the reporter subsequently has less time to run the interview his way. You'll notice Thompson didn't even let Russert interrupt him -- he kept talking when Russert tried to machine-gun him, and even told Russert "now, let me finish" several times.
Great job by Thompson.
Another freeper peddling a Planned Parenthood anti-Romney advertisement with a forged signature.
The enemy of your enemy is still evil, if it’s Planned Parenthood. Anybody who quotes from attack ads of an abortion mill should have to go to stand in the corner and let the adults have a conversation.
Hahahaha! You Hunterites and your poor guy’s 1% poll numbers. I guess I’d be bitter, too, if my hero couldn’t get any traction. So, will you be voting for Hillary in the general? Or Ron Paul on a third party ticket?
The chutzpah of the Mittheads is astounding, they really outdid themselves tonight.
It’s a classic Clintonian tactic to attack other candidates on the exact issues where your own candidate is weak. It’s good chess-playing, but it’s intellectually dishonest.
The whole thing is readily available online, at the MtP website, at the Fred site linked in Reply #13 above, etc. For those on the fence or otherwise concerned about Fred's abilities as a campaigner it is worth watching the whole thing. I've been a FredHead from the get-go but I've also felt and expressed concern about his public appearances so far. Today's performance has boosted my confidence in Fred quite a bit!
I watched the whole thing.
Fred handled himself beautifully.
I think you are right on the mark about Hillary. She’s a snake, even more dangerous than her husband. I think a President Hillary would remind us why it’s not in our interests to have a president with the power to spy on us and lock up enemies with no trial etc..., powers that we felt comfortable giving to Bush.
Indeed, Fred is a formidable opponent. Russert appeared as a tousle haired schoolboy in comparison.
