A man with solid convictions and beliefs can do that. Fred Thompson is such a man.
I don't think Hillary would have the guts to debate Thompson--she would be utterly destroyed. She would simply try to find a way out--scheduling conflicts, disagreements about format....you watch.
I really, really hope he throws his hat in the ring.
Instead of seeing the predicted NY Hillary v Giuliani matchup, we may see a Tennessee Gore v Thompson race. In each event, the Republican is from the home turf, while the Democrat is a poser with their heart elsewhere.
Agree completely. I'm tired of the same old retreads being paraded before us. The current cast is either too liberal, too unknown or too politically scarred already. Fred Thompson will be a breath of fresh air who, I hope, will not change his forthrightness should he decide to return to politics for the biggest prize. This country needs him!
I hope he jumps in. He's being drafted. That's a good point to start with. A lot of these other characters had dreams of becoming president for a long time. To Fred Thompson it's a recent job opening. That's a good sign. Nobody should have that job that wants it too badly.
