(3)He was early on portrayed as potentially another “Ronald Reagan.” The factors mentioned by Wilson undercut that aura as does THIS:

Then there is the question of those conservative credentials. Recent reports have suggested Thompson lobbied for a pro-choice group before he served in the Senate. And his record on campaign finance reform isn’t exactly what conservatives are looking for: We heard a rival campaign refer to the “McCain-Feingold-Thompson” bill recently. Those two strikes seemingly only need one more to make Thompson as unacceptable to the base as the other top candidates.

2. I agree.
He really has very little to offer, beyond being able to make a mean face, and to deliver an extremely limited message. It seems that he is not as capable a puppet as Ronald Reagan or Howdy Doody.

10. He and I are about the same age....
....and I think he looks about 75 and not 60-ish. Hmmmm....maybe it is just the contrast with a wife who looks young enough to be his GRAND-daughter???

I do have to agree: He does NOT look healthy.

11. I also saw a picture of the Iowa fair appearance--his face looked gray or ashen.
Does not appear well, and apparently had to ride through the fair on a golf cart, according to Fox News.
