Hi Diana,
I really don't think Tommy is viable. For one, he's not very savvy. Look at his "I'm surprised the food supply hasn't been hit yet, it's such an easy target" [paraphrase] departing remarks as Secretary of Health and Human Services. I'm thinking that, in and of itself, is the end of Tommy's political aspirations.
For another, he's a jerk.
Sadly, there was a time I might have considered voting for him for president. But that would have been mainly to get rid of him as governor...
I know, I know. I'm republican, conservative, Christian. Probably shouldn't say such things. Nothing personal, because I can tell you have respect for the man. He just never managed to earn mine.
That's OK, no offense taken. President Bush has his character quirks as well, and he and I don't see eye to eye on all the issues, though I doubt it keeps him up nights, LOL! Time will tell. I'm willing to consider other Governor's as well. No Senators though. Please! We've been through enough, LOL!
