See, I still don’t get that. That was the rational for voting for Bush in 2000. And what the dims did in 2004 (if Dean won the nomination - he would have won the presidency).
Thompson to me seems more of a Tabula Rosa, where we can project all our dreams onto him.
Reagan had a history of accomplishment to back up his personality. But Thompson just really doesn’t have it.
He could be just more Rino in a conservative’s clothing.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not willing to dismiss him at all, but I still need to hear what he has to say on the trail, in debates before I can make a judgement.
I understand your point in hindsight, but I can't get my head around where we would be 7 years into an algore administration...

We will have that chance very soon...
Again though, I do think I have a pretty good idea where clinton would take us...
