Picking a Nominee
Fred Thompson deserved a look see.

His website,(phttp://www.imwithfred.com/index.aspx), is stylish, impressive and covers quite a bit of territory. Fred himself writes a daily entry to distinguish his stands from the media's perspective.*

I wondered if he'd last. Yet. He's so appealing what with Rhose Reaganesque pull quotes, his Watergate years, the guy who kept his integrity during Clinton's impeachment, the Judge on that TV show.

A Pair of Good Slip Ons--Rudy Giuliani
My admiration for Rudy Giuliani goes way back. He's proven himself time and again by literally cleaning up the streets of New York, devastating New York crime syndicates, governing a city of millions of souls and leading the rebound from the mess Mayor Koch left . Before his term was finished he took the opportunity to again perform on the fly with great judgment and bravery. He's a made guy. There's no breaking-in period Rudy. He'll hit the floor running faster than you can say Fred who?

Accessories
This morning just when I thought I would try take a second look at Fred, Fox's Carl Cameron blinded the campaign's management and me by revealing an major fight inside the campaign. On one side stands the seasoned campaign aides with presidential experience; on the other a media- described trophy wife who plants her feet, new baby as Fred's trade-in wife on hip--like some Colossus of Rhodes, the big-time campaign--and Fred-- in hand. Some say she's adept at campaigning; others state she's a distraction. I don't want my candidate distracted by a wannabe pol wife.

I'll stop at calling Fred's wife excess baggage. We'll see if the candidate will take control of his campaign. If he can, he'll probably make a good president, ironically.

The Planet's Fairness Doctrine
For the skinny on Rudy, whose family also is in a mess, log on to:

Most people nowadays simply view the candidate's background as noise. Love affairs and similar problems have no traction with the voters anymore, only with the tabloids and media. Voters have learned to simply ignore and turn off the negative character hits.

With that in mind, it's nice to see that brains trump sleeping together over at the Rudy Campaign. I have a hunch she won't be calling an aide in the middle of night to bark a couple of orders some candidates' wives did back in the day.

Thanks for the read.

*Hooray for the internet and freedom of speech. New voters are tuned in more and more via the internet. The campaigns should stress their website addresses more in ads. For the most benefit, the candidates should speak directly to the audience.
