Why does this Hollywood has-been think hes better than the other candidates? Wow, you must really hate FDT to call him a "has been." Let's see, "Law & Order" in all of its variations is one of the most successful and long-running shows on television, "Hunt for Red October," "Cape Fear," "Die Hard 2," "No Way Out," and "Days of Thunder" were all very successful movies.
I would hate to think what you were saying about Ronald Reagan back when he first ran.

Back when RR first ran I was a Jimmy Carter fan. Yes, I was young and stupid. I do remember Ronald Reagan ran against an incumbent republican president. When he ran and won, he did it by coming in the front door, meaning he debated his opponents. He declared he was running two years before the election. He didn't try to back door his way into the nomination by avoiding debates and trying to position himself as someone special (though he was). I do resent Fred Thompson's office saying more people watch Leno than the republican debates. It may be true but I'd rather see a debate rather than running each candidate through Leno and see which one can tell the best joke. Until Fred Thompson starts acting like he's running for President, I'll consider him a joke.
