OK, I found the Fred Thompson spokesman ads. I'm surprise he's doing
them but he is, after all, an actor. Other than this, I haven't seen
him make any bad judgment calls.

He also misstepped really badly as a candidate for primary 4 years or
so ago (IMO, but I forget - luckily what his mistakes were). Until
then he seemed a semiviable candidate.


His biggest misstep was lack of enthusiasm. I thing he got caught up
in the hoopla that he should run, but did not really want to.


Perhaps that was it. I can't remember any specific misstep, but it
indeed appeared that he was rather lackluster as a candidate. And
"hunger" for the presidency seems to be a prerequisite.


I only wish you'd heard his wonderful speeches...
