I have not attended any of his events, (neither have 99% of the public), but I have been watching, listening and reading to many of them. I follow the links that people here give, I watch the youtubes etc. I am not an uniformed voter. I like Freds ideals, that is what is so frustrating.

This kind of reminds me of 2004. Everyone here agreed that John Kerry was one of the most boring, but pompous speakers we had ever heard, yet I would read on DU Funnies etc, how his followers said, "But you should see him in person, he is sooooooo passionate" We all laughed. I am in no way comparing John Kerry to Fred Thompson, I think Fred outshines Kerry ten - fold, I am only comparing the reaction of their followers.

Let's face it, if issues where the only thing that people voted on, Duncan Hunter would be wiping everyone off the floor, but it is not. It is appearance, and the way they connect with every day people. That is reality. As I said, if Fred shows more of that passion, and shows more like the Michael Moore video and NRA appearance, I might change my mind, but it better fire up soon or I will doubt his ability to connect with the American people.
