Very good article about Fred...

Fred Thompson Considering Entering the Presidential Race

I talked with Fred Thompson at a party for ABC Radio in Los Angeles Friday night. I introduced myself as the host of The Young Turks on Air America Radio. Even though I made it clear in the beginning of the conversation that I might not come from the same side of the political spectrum as he does these days, he was very receptive and candid in our conversation.

Snip...

I was sure that I would get the standard non-denial denial. But instead of dismissing the rumors, Thompson said he was considering it. I was surprised at how open he was to the idea. I was also surprised that he didn't bother with the usual pretences of not being interested. The former senator from Tennessee was quite frank about contemplating the possibility of running.

Snip...

In the end, I have to admit that I was impressed by Thompson. Sometimes when you meet someone you get a sense of whether they are real or fake. And sometimes you are taken in by an amiable, charming person you might not otherwise agree with.

Great post. Thanks for the link. As for as I, personally, am concerned, Fred Thompson is a ray of light in the field of Republican candidates. I'll be very, very disappointed if he chooses not to run.

It would be interesting if he ran a campaign the way he just talked to me one on one. But as he acknowledges, the system in Washington is hard to change. Ultimately it would be very hard for him not to pander and tell voters what they want to hear. After all, if he told the conservative base that he did not agree with them on some core issues, they would be out drafting yet another new candidate.

Oh really? Which "core issues" might those be?
Sounds like a mighty big Uh-Oh to me.
