John Henke is back to blogging and announces that he will also work for Fred Thompson.
James Joyner comments:
I’m not sure what to make of Thompson’s candidacy. He’s a likable, smart, and charismatic fellow. Still, I’m not sure that his public policy resume shows adequate preparation for the presidency. Certainly, during the brief time he was my Senator (I lived in Tennessee during the 1995-96 academic year) he was more a show horse than a work horse.
I think that Thompson has the potential to a lot of people, but he - like all the other candidates - will have to go people, meet with them, talk to them, etc. He cannot win the nomination through the Internet only, it simply doesn’t work like that. He has to work hard to earn the Republican nomination.
I read an article where someone in his campaign (or exploratory committee or whatever it is) kept saying things like, “With his name recognition, he doesn’t have to do all the campaign stops at every diner”. There was a real arrogance and presumption about those statements that could do him in, I think. He and his campaign staffers shouldn’t assume that he’s not going to have to work hard and travel a lot, shaking hands and looking people in the eye.
Yeah thats a cute one. Hes not got the experience.
Mabey we should compare his Resume to Obamas.
Anyone wanna?
“Anyone wanna?”
Yes, let’s. Obama’s is far more impressive.
