Certainly Townhall readers are familiar with the reputation and stature of Human Events, the publication Ronald Reagan called his "favorite newspaper"

On Friday, January 11 Human Events online published it's resounding endorsement of Fred Thompson for president.   An except:

"The 2008 presidential election is the most unusual and most important in many years. It’s been more than five decades since such a race didn’t feature an incumbent President or Vice President. Since World War II, America has not had a presidential election at a time when the stakes were higher. Conservatives have to win this election, and to do so, we have to identify a candidate around whom we all can rally."

Medved's column is a discussion of the CNN poll which declared loudly that NO republican candidate has a chance to beat the democrats.  Sounds like he agrees. 

Nine comments down,  Sgt. Relic poses the question, "Anybody notice that Thompson wasn't included in the poll despite having a 13% poll number?  Coincidence?” He got no response.

Except from his supporters, here's all that’s been said about Fred Thompson:

"Fred is great, but he will never make it. He just doesn't have the charisma needed to go up against either Obama or Clinton."

"Fred is great and I love the guy, but he has not caught on with GOP voters (at least yet) so it is hard to see him very competative against the Dems."

 "...and EVEN ([my emphasis] Fred Thompson."

 "I would love to see Fred be our next president but my ONLY concern with him is whether or not he can withstand the onslaught from the MSM and the DNC spin machine."

Onslaught?  WHAT onslaught?!  "Onslaught"  would be a vast improvement over the tactic the MSM are currently using.  They treat him as if he doesn't exist. This has obviously been working well for them as demonstrated by the media parroting I see here.

Charisma? I guess that depends on how you define it.  If you'd watched Thompson on Hannity and Colmes following the most recent debate, you'd have been treated to the sight of him handing the weasely Alan his lunch, then patting him on the knee afterwards!  If you'd watched the Iowa debate, you'd have seen that he was the only one to stand up to the lib-pandering moderator who tried to insist on a "show of hands" regarding  global warming hype.  No question at all whether he can withstand any attack or spin that comes at him.

Don't let the "drive-by media" cheat you out of seeing the dynamic Senator Thompson in action.  You're missing out on the best chance the Republican party has had in a very long time to make mince-meat out of the liberals!
