Fred Thompson is not Duncan Hunter...
But he could play him in a movie.
The differences between them are real, but both are conservative. I support Hunter now, but he has been campaigning for awhile and hasn't gained much traction. He also has never mounted more than a local campaign. If Thompson enters the field, I will do everything I can to support him. He already is way ahead of Hunter without even being a candidate. Thompson will be the conservative candidate with the best chance to win. Whether we like it or not, presidential campaigning is media driven. A candidate has to be able to convince Americans with impressions they leave from 30 second commercials and sound bites. Because of his professional background, Thompson knows how to give the right impression before a microphone or camera. This is the only view of a candidate most voters will ever see.
We must get a conservative elected, liberals need not apply. Sorry, Rudy.
