Fred Thompson offers a stock response that resonates with many voters when addressing complaints that he was way too slow getting into the Republican presidential race. “People treat politicians sort of like the dentist: They don’t have anything to do with them until they have to,” the former Tennessee senator says.

Thompson’s official launch wasn’t too shabby for a candidate being written off as too little and too late. By announcing his bid on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” the prosecutor-actor-politician upstaged his Republican foes, whose debate in New Hampshire earlier that night on cable television’s Fox News Channel drew less than half the audience that Thompson drew on NBC.

Thompson’s team even added a slight insult to the potential injury done to him by staying away from the debate, running his first television advertisement on Fox News just minutes before the debate started. This dodge-and-conquer strategy worked for one night, but the next few weeks will soon tell whether his splashy launch was little more than a wet firecracker.

The rationale for Thompson’s late entry is persuasive, although it could hurt his chances in early organizing states such as Iowa. His advisers, including veteran campaign guru Mary Matalin, insist there is plenty of time for him to get his message out. “This ‘too late’ talk is Washington nonsense,” she said.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Ain't it the truth!

He will chose Cheney as his VP. Can Cheney run again as VP?
If so, just imagine, we could potentially have 16 years of Cheney/Addington in rule of this Country.
:cry:

I'd rather get Root Canal withour anesthesia than have him as President.

Well...maybe not!
