It's reported that he is lazy and lacks stick-to-it-tiveness.

Here's part of a piece on him from Time magazine about his laziness. I've been hearing a lot about that on the political shows too. Does this sound like a man ready to give his life over to public service for at least four years in a job that is so stress filled it ages most people far beyond their years?
"Critics question his endurance: he has a reputation for resisting a demanding schedule and is undisciplined as a campaigner. In a recent speech to California Republicans, Thompson began with some jokes that were well received but then abandoned his carefully written text and rambled through remarks that left many in the audience underwhelmed. His high school football coach in Lawrenceburg, Tenn., told the Nashville Tennessean, "He was smart, but he was lazy. He probably could have been a straight-A student if he'd applied himself." With eight years in the Senate, his legislative record was thin. Says a former adviser: "While the Senate is filled with ambitious men who aren't in a rush to get home at night, Senator Thompson kept a lean formal schedule, did the bare minimum to get by and then hightailed [it] to the Prime Rib or the Capital Grille."

They stay at home on the PC so much he is the one they are the most familiar with from old reruns of Law and Order. They have seen him on there from having the TVon 24/7 for background noise.

Not true. I know a lot of people who want Fred Thompson that don't get on answers.

Not true! He hasn't even officially run yet and he already has 11% of the Republicans for him! It went up from 8% yesterday!

Because we hang around a political forum and probably are more up to date than many who don't.
You'll see more people heading in his direction once he formerly announces and people get to know him better.

Not true. He's been in double digits in the polls for a while now.

Why is it people with no clue ask such stupid questions without researching the very thing they are asking?
