Reply #9: This won't matter an iota in the GE....

As a staunch Tennessee Democrat and someone who has seen Thompson in action, I can tell by reading some of these replies in these various threads that people have NO clue about Fred Thompson and his campaign style. If he decides to run, he will sweep the primaries and give us a tight run for our money. Obama and Hillary have no chance against this guy. I have always lived in fear of him deciding to give up the better money of Hollywood for higher office aspirations.

There is an aura about him that people just seem to love. Hell, many Democrats will vote for the guy because he seems very intelligent and genuine. Remember too, that as a US Senator, he was one of a VERY few pugs that voted to not impeach Clinton. This further tempers the rabidity that seems to infest so many pugs.

We should be VERY VERY concerned about him running. The word from a very good source in Tennessee during the last Gubernatorial election, was the our current very popular Democratic governor only feared ONE person running possibly running against him.....Fred Thompson. Everybody just loves the guy and highly respects his service on the Senate Foreign relations committee as well as being a US attorney and Watergate Counsel. He is not a lightweight like some of the clueless posters on here assume.

His questions about the validity of Global Warming can only be effectively answered and debated by one person...Al Gore.. We had better hope that he runs instead of the current pack of potential GE losers.

I am a regular lurker who has been on here for years. I rarely post anything, but I'm telling you, you heard it here first about Thompson.
