IMHO Thompson supporters have the passion and charisma but their candidate does not. Just my 2 cents worth and I know many will disagree.

Fred is a slow speaking Tennessee drawling kind of guy. But I don't see any evidence that would suggest that he doesn't want the job less passionately than other candidates. For him to quit his cushy acting and radio job to go through the arduous campaign process, I feel is evidence enough that he wants the job.

Maybe you can further explain your opinion.

Also understand that the "no fire in the belly" line and story is what is being pushed by our DBM. Thus the angry responses you may get from some.

It is the slow speaking drawl that does not appeal along with his overall appearance I think you have hit the nail on the head with that remark. Maybe it does to Americans so maybe I am looking at it from a British point of view but judging from how other candidates are portraying themselves I am not so sure.

He may appeal in areas where this is normal and expected but whatabout elsewhere in the country that runs at a faster pace. That is all I am saying and for the records along with Hunter his policies I am more in tune with than the other candidates but I want a winner and that is where I have my doubts.
