GBA is correct that Abe Lincoln probably could not be elected today, and although that is a sad fact, it does us no good what so ever to pretend that America will change its vanity standards overnight because FT is the nominee. He may beat Hillary, only because of her high negatives, but they are close to the same age, yet look decades apart. We laughed at Al Gore for hiring an image consultant (Naomi something) but at this point FT had better look into hiring more than one.
My worry with Fred Thompson is that his cancer is going to come out of remission. It’s bound to happen.
There was a study published about his form of cancer not long ago. 86% of the people at Thompson’s point were either sick or dead.
If his cancer recurs, there’s no going back once he is the nominee. And we may very well be in a position where a Vice President would need to step up.
