“Electile Dysfunction”: the inability to become aroused over any of the leading
contenders for president put forth by either party in the 2008 election year.
Then I hope the GOP is ready to splinter.
If Republicans were conservative, there’d be no contest and Fred would be on top.
**A bystander in his own race, Thompson’s political what-could-have-been slipped through his fingers long before he announced his candidacy. “The process for running for president has begun so early,” says GOP political strategist Charlie Gerow, “that if you are not in the game, you are not in the game ... and Fred Thompson was never in the game.”**
Yeah, his ‘brilliant’ strategy backfired. We heard nothing but how ‘brilliant’ Fred was in entering when he did because people would get ‘bored’ of the other candidates. Well Mr. Boring himself actually got in the race and it was all downhill from there. This goes to show you how polls and being labelled an ‘electable’ candidate with ‘name recognition’ means squat. People knew who he was and saw and heard from him but showed how bad he was as a candidate in that his pathetic candidacy imploded. He had all the advantages except the man couldn’t back it up himself. And that is an example of ‘unelectable’ as there ever was. Face reality, “FredHeads”, in that Fred can’t win and isn’t viable. Move along and make excuses for another candidate you can make the ‘less of the evils’. No Mr. Perfects after all, right? And Fred was far from perfect unfortunately.
