Fred Thompson is an all-around conservative. But he's past his prime. I don't doubt that he could translate his Law 'n Order fame into a few more votes in Cleveland and Pittsburgh and maybe hold Ohio and win Pennsylvania. Maybe have the same effect on Wisconsin and a few other close blue states, without losing any red states (though the Clintons seem to be worshipped down in Florida). But we're really approaching "senior statesman" territory here. And senior statesmen don't win presidential elections. If Obama is the nominee, it'll be youth v. age. If it's Hillary, she'd get a good run for her money but she might still pull it out. Rudy is 64 but acts 44. He's still our best shot.
But he's past his prime.

Yeah, at 65 years old, Fred must be right next to death's door, rolfmao! Oh, wait... Ronald Reagan was 69 when he was first elected president. I'd say that his presidency turned out pretty well, wouldn't you?
Also, Thompson married a 35-year-old major babe just five years ago. Ol' Fred is probably still pretty frisky, LOL.
I just can't believe the straw men that some of you are throwing out here. Lame. Very lame...
