“I’m sure you realize how important this election is.

Are you sure you’re thinking about what’s important in a candidate?”

i think there is a clear prerequisite for running for the Presidency: you have to want to be President!!!!

if that isnt important then what is?

“i think there is a clear prerequisite for running for the Presidency: you have to want to be President!!!!”

How about you have to want to do what’s right for the country? That’s a lot different from wanting to be president, think about it.

Not a difficult concept but easy to miss, I’m sure I’ve missed it myself at times.

Actually, nobody who craved the Presidency has ever won it. President Bush was never worried about losing it, but felt that he had a duty to his Country. Craving it is one of the things that has hurt Dems over the years.

Fred Thompson is doing it his way which to some is very appealing and to others not. Same with the rest of the candidates. All cept 1 are very electable.

Watch the video of Fred Thompson’s “I’m Not Doing Hand Shows” moment at the Iowa debate last week.

Fred Thompson was the alpha. Huckabee, Romney and Giuliani saw Fred take the lead and instantly fell in line behind him. Mitt Romney almost lost his balance, he was so eager to follow Fred Thompson.

You may desperately want and I do not doubt that Thompson desperately wants it but does he convey that and he does not to me and may not to the American public as a whole.

I was pleased that he showed more passion in the debate recently but I still think his overall campaign needs to go up gear or 2.
