Let’s face it: You have to be obsesses to run for the Presidency. No one is going to meekly offer it to you.

Is Thompson obsessed with winning the nomination, like the other Republican candidates are?

Obsession is a mental disorder.... as is compulsion... determination is what Fred is about... hard concept for liberals to grasp... but the difference is striking.

Fred has never expected anyone to hand him anything. He’s working, but he’s not interested in playing the ‘boxers or briefs’ game of the media. He’s more interested in getting out with the voters. He did that in Iowa, and he’s done that some in NH. Now he’s on the road in SC, and as one poster noted, has a very heavy schedule.
