I really wish Thompson had run for Governor of Tennessee in 2002 rather than back to Hollywood.

I am not a fan of career politicians, but historically, Governors are more likely to win the Presidency.

However, Thompson seems to have a presence, call it gravitas, if you wish, which may make up for a lack of executive experience.

And his acting skills, combined with his history as a federal prosecutor could make him devastating to his opponents in any debate.

Roger, 10-4 good buddy. I am sick of electing former governors over senators because they have "management experience" As far as I can see, all these bozos manage to do is swing to the left on getting into the WH (Reagan excepted)!
