which ones?

why is Thompson going to do better then Bush did in 2004? where is Thompson’s appeal to independents going to come from, to hispanics, to young voters? what happens when people see that he has a wife that looks like his daughter lined up to be first lady? that he doesn’t have a particularly great career in government, not even having served two full senate terms. and he has no executive experience.

the idea here on FR, that Thompson is going to pull off some Reagan style landslide, is pure fantasy. if Thompson is the nominee - it will play out exactly as I said above. His electoral strategy will be identical to Bush’s. He will have to hold Ohio, hold one off those western states, and hold Iowa, to get to 270. Don’t get me wrong - he could do that - I’m not saying he can’t win the general - but its not going to be a landslide.

I just don’t believe that the GOP’s only shot is to run a leftist, cross-dressing, thrice-divorced, statist, pro-abortion, pro-gay-marriage LIBERAL.

You failed to mention that his lips are too big.

That could be the scenario no matter who we nominate.
