What does Fred have going for him other than his trophy wife and an acting career. I thought he left politics for Hollywood. Did Reagan not teach anyone a lesson?

I must have missed that lesson. Let's see though. . . he didn't teach us about hummers in the Oval Office, he didn't sell U.S. Military secrets to the Chinese, and he didn't commit perjury.
Hmm. . . ya' know what? I'm going to need a little more time on this one. But just so I'm clear, Reagan did something SO horrible that we all should have learned our lesson, only we did not? Is that the gist of it? Okay, I'm on it.

Uh... Actually, Reagan did the best job of any President in the last 50 years. While I'm not so sure about Fred, his predecessor comported himself quite adequately.

Thompson was an established attorney before he became a Senator --- he left politics to go into acting...
But as for the comparison with Reagan -- he did a better job than most of the other leaders the past several decades.

Why is it that the right slams on Hollywood so much but then votes for actors/entertainers for public office?
Sonny Bono
Arnuld
Reagan
Fred Gandy (Gopher from the Love Boat)
Alan Autry
Clint Eastwood

Fred Thompson needs to buff up and slim down to attract the wealthy baby boomers.

Communicating well is an excellent talent for a political candidate or an elected official. (Look at our current president to see what things look like when they cannot communicate well.)
The important thing is not that a person is or is not an actor (look how well we've done with lawyers), but that he or she is able to use good judgment. Being able to communicate well is just a bonus.

Yes, Reagan taught us that an ex-actor could be the best president in recent history.
What Fred has going for him is that he gets it on the War on Terror, among other issues.
