Just an observation: Fred has been an actor for many years. I doubt he's squeamish about wearing makeup. I think he looks fine the way he is. Why do you want him to pretend to be something he's not? Should he also change his hair color depending on which audience he's talking to ala Clinton?

Looks Presidential to me!

He doesn't look like he wears makeup at all, nor am I saying he should wear makeup as a rule. I was just making the observation that a pale Nixon who refused to use makeup during a very important Presidential debate left him at an extreme disadvantage to the tanned (or slightly made up) Kennedy. Unfortunately, Hillary will be colorfully, artfully and psychological poll dressed, tanned and made up for debates or sooner. - Also unfortunately, campaigning is now, thanks to the ubiquitous tv camera, a very visual endeavor - and people are in general, unfortunately, suckers for appearances in this youth culture. Hillary is blessed with a head of hair, or, if not, she can and will (if the polls indicate she should) visit Hair Club for Women or Wig World. Again, unfortunately, that will play well in Rio Linda, and even also amongst the yellow dog Democrats out here in the sticks where we live.

Fred Thompson looks very nice and Presidential, but he has my permission to slightly tweak (nothing extreme like surgery or wigs or anything remotely like that) his appearance - a slight suntan, a healthy diet, not allowing anyone from Hillary's camp near his debate makeup IF he should decide to wear any for any debates with her.

I'm a woman and if I follow your premise, then I shouldn't use the bit of pink Terra Tint natural lip stuff that I think makes me at least look healthier because it is pretending to be "something I'm not".

I think he's a firecracker of a candidate with the potential to be dynamite.
