I agree with your take on Thompson. His “Sell By” date is coming up quicker than most people realize. There is no runaway winner in this tired group of hasbeens. It’s like looking at a room full of Bob Doles. Romney has some charisma, but he just isn’t getting much traction.
You would think there would be someone who could take down The HillaBeast in the general election, but unfortunately, much of the country has turned on Bush, and it bodes poorly for most Republicans in ‘08. None of the current potential opponents of HillaBeast has what it takes to get elected to the White House.
pardon me, but I think your analysis is kooky. Fred is not even like Bob Dole...Dole was dull. Thompson has more energy and comes across as very real. What are you looking for? I think you are looking right past a very good character who will calmly trounce any democrats nutty ideas.
