An excellent argument for Fred.
It's a long read, but a good one.
http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/..._thompson.html
Mulhern's arguments are well- reasoned.
Fred's chances are looking better all the time.

I would have preferred to watch it live but t will be rebroadcast on MSNBC at 9pm EST...

Actually, that was a very smart move on CNBC's part.
With the debate at that time, NBC along with the other major news networks, were able to lead off their World News Tonight programs with the debate. Just as people are getting home from work. Then to re-air it later.
It should make more people more interested in watching the re-airing, which would benefit the GOP candidates, IMO.

To borrow a familiar line....
Reagan wasn't only a member of the Screen Actor's Guild, he was also it's President, at one time.

Fred impressed me in his first outing the other night. Loooooookin' strong. Got that Tennessee thang goin' for em too. It'll be inte resting to see how much the bankroll factor comes into play now.
Anything's better than the following 5 words though... HILLARY CLINTON COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
FRED'08!

Latest edition of "The Economist" was not very flattering. http://www.economist.com/world/na/di...ory_id=9946981
October 13 - 19th edition.
A thinly veiled political attack...

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.
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?

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.

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
