Thompson’s health should be no more an issue in this race than Hillary’s gender.

That is an absurd statement. The general health of anyone running for president is an issue. You don’t die from being female you die from NHL. I had two friends that had other cancer that were remission, but who died unexpectedly from NHL. The stresses of being president are immense and can age a healthy person, starting out sick is not a winning recipe for longevity. Some one earlier mentioned that Clinton seemed to be unaffected by the stress. I seem to remember him having some sort of heart trouble not long after leaving the WH and at a very young age.

I feel bad for Fred, I like him. However I think his best role for the party at this point in his life would be as an unencumbered spokesman who can go out and say the things that need be said, but are hard for a candidate to say without possibly alienating some voters.
