Expand your horizons. Fred Thompson isn’t the only answer here. While his policy positions are strongly conservative, he is quite frankly an unenthusiastic bore as a campaigner and speaker. I liked him in early spring 2007, but lost respect for him as he bungled his way through the rest of the year. Whether he likes it or not, campaigning is hard, necessary work if you want to win the party nomination. No one is just going to hand it to you. That what it seems Fred wants, sadly. . .
