Thompson "Elephant in the Room" "Intellectually Curious & Sharp"
Red State calls Fred Thompson “The Elephant in the Room”:Fred is the elephant in the room. Beyond just the solidly Republican voting record on issues like life and taxes … here we have an older guy standing between two younger men bickering with each other … [T]he man who the other candidates have been treating as an elephant in the room — dancing around him as best they could without too many acknowledgments of his existence until recently — proved not only is he a very good elephant on taxes, social security, national security, and business issues, but also was willing to do what few candidates are willing to do, give a real "yes" and a real "no."
Byron York: But the bottom line was, Fred Thompson did just fine . . . there was no doubt that Thompson was, in fact, in the first tier of the GOP race.
Mark Levin says some conservatives are enabling very inaccurate criticisms of Thompson:This "senior moment" and "Fred Thompson-is-lazy" stuff is really starting to irk. I remember hearing the same comments about Ronald Reagan in every campaign in which I participated — 1976 and 1980. And this tactic was especially used against him in 1984. I have spent some time with Thompson. He is intellectually curious and sharp. He is engaging and vigorous. Yes, he chooses his words carefully. He speaks in a southern accent. But the attacks on him appear to have a Northeastern-liberal-style feel to them, emanating largely from the NewYork-Washington, D.C axis.See also:Thompson, . . . win latest Zogby poll Thompson 22%; Giuliani 21%: Romney 11% and McCain 9% Tags:Election 2008, Fred Thompson, Mark Levin, presidential candidates, Red State, RepublicanTo share or post to your site, click on "Post Link".
