Seems to me that the press is ganging up on him, makes you wonder if they are scared of something!!!

Here's my reason!!
 

Here's my reason why I'd vote for Thompson:

Latest edition of "The Economist" was not very flattering. http://www.economist.com/world/na/di...ory_id=9946981

A thinly veiled political attack...

The Onion slam dunks another great one. I believe it is about damn time we had a president with a trophy wife.

On a serious note, does having a smoking hot younger wife really appeal to the core of the Republican "values voters"? Perma-tan, bleached hair, controversial chest...don't get me wrong, my vote falls squarely on Thompson...and his wife. :D

I personally believe that Thompson and the policies he proposes are the most important thing, but I know some Republican voters, even here in Kalifornistan are looking at him in a negative light solely due to his wife. As frivolous as that may be, it could very well change the numbers when voting time comes. Does somebody with a hot wife 20 some ought years his younger really appeal to the values based voter, especially in those blood red states?

Yes, post a picture of the wife, please. :munchin

Here you go RL...

Nope, he doesn't. I don't like him as a candidate for other reasons, but among -many- conservatives that I know (and I'm in a red state), the opinion is that he is just another Hollywood type who used his celebrity to bag a chick that would've never looked twice at him otherwise. Superficial, phony, fake boobs, fake tan, fake everything....... doesn't really help him push the "good ole' family values boy from Tennessee" image. He's be a lot better off if he had a wife his age (who didn't have bolt on tits).

It's not my opinion, but it definately exists, especially among middle aged conservative women.

Uh, that "article" is in The Onion. :D

A little quick to judge the women do you think? What is your evidence?


Whats there to be upset about besides the fact that you might not be able to pull something like that when your his age :munchin

mdb23 = FRED envy

We should all be so lucky as to have a younger woman...at any stage in our lives.

Note: If you're 18 years of age or older, she shall be no more than 24 months your junior. BAD JU JU.

As for candidacy and chances. There are only two people with a real chance. Rudy & Hillary.

It's obvious that Hillary is the go to woman (or is it man?) for the Democratic Party. While I like Fred as a candidate, I'm a realistic Republican, and I know it's unrealistic for Fred compete with Hillary. The GOP will advance their candidate based solely on who can hang with Hillary, and I believe Rudy is the only Republican who has a proven track record against her and our only chance to win.

My prediction...Hillary vs. Rudy in the finals.

Hope = Rudy can salvage a win for us.

Reality = Hillary will win.

Hopefully this will change your prediction. Historically the White Male voter has determined the outcome of Presidential elections. Example Bush carried a 26-27 point advantage over sKerry. The Democrats have continually tried to solve the problem of White Males fleeing the liberal democratic agenda. The current polls show that Hillary is recording record lows in the White Male vote. The difference indicates Reaganesque type point differential in this all important group. If she tallies the current poll numbers of 11 percent of the white male vote her thumping will be resounding.

To win she will have to garner all black and hispanic votes, plus capture the majority of white females. Okay, this is your "sleep comfortable pill" for the night. Democrats have not collected a majority of the white womens vote since 1964.

You read it here, regardless of which candidate the Republicans put up they are assured of a victory against her. Now all bets are off if Hillary does not get the nomination, as the point spread will change in the white male and white female groups. :munchin
