The Thompson response is going to have an amazing polarizing effect.

For Democrats it means two of their sacred cows have been attacked; Michael Moore and Fidel Castro. It makes them sit up and look (hatefully) a lot harder at Fred.

For Republicans it it further evidence of an ELECTABLE candidate with humor, insight and most of all BALLS...BIG BIG BALLS!!!

See post 44 — my husband (a moderate dem or a dem-leaning independent, depending on the day), was extremely impressed.

If, by democrats, you mean the candidates, I agree without qualification.

But if you mean the democratic voters, I'm not so sure.

I think mainstream dems know that Moore and his ilk are just one use tools to be used and thrown away. I really do believe that most Americans, Pubs or Dems, are pretty fed up with the divisive bs.

Fred has it in him, to put into party neutral words, a broad message that could unite us. Especially, if nominated, he very carefully selects his running mate.

Of course, I think that person would be JC Watts. :)

:O)

P America. Together. Again Fred Thompson/JC Watts in '08
