Unless your crystal ball is a whole lot clearer than mine, or you have a direct line to the Almighty, you have no way to know what Mitt Romney’s health will be like next summer either.
Look, everyone knows that Fred Thompson has an issue that affects his long-term health. But, what you are doing is making far more of it than it deserves.
And why?
Because you think political mileage can be made of it in favor of your candidate.
And when it comes to beating Hillary, I think Fred Thompson is our best bet. Romney is somebody I’d be very reluctant to vote for and would do so, if at all, despite my best instincts, only because the alternative would be worse.
There would be no enthusiasm whatsoever in my vote. This attitude is one I find very pervasive, and I don’t think Romney can overcome it with his money. He just seems too slick and phoney. He needs to work on doing a better job of faking his genuineness.
>>>He just seems too slick and phoney<<<
Funny, the only candidate who has really achieved any degree of success in private enterprise and the most in his family life is viewed as phony.
I tend to think the supporters of a man whose biggest accomplishment on his resume is McCain-Feingold tend to be a bit phony, especially considering Thompson’s reluctance to commit to no new taxes, his unwilligness to back a border fence, his disbelief in federal tort reform, and his unwilligness to back a marriage amendment.
If Romney held those views, he’d be a non-starter. But Thompson, with his baritone southern voice, why! he’s trustworthy and a great leader. Yeah, right.
