You make a joke about viagra but that's exactly how many, many people will see and joke about him. While some say he appears "Presidential" many others will see him as old, tired and sick. If nominated we will have even more "old" jokes than we had when Bob Dole got the nomination. And just wait for the first "gaff"... It will be much worse than when Dole forgot which city he was in. Reagan did a great job handling the "old" stereotype and maybe there's hope that Thompson could turn around the stereotypes. I'd love to be wrong but Thompson is not Reagan and it's not 1984 any more. In fact many of the current voters were in diapers or not even born when Reagan was President.
