Tries to assure voters that, while he shares many things with republican icon Saint Ronnie of Reagan, being dead is not one of them.
His voice and expression serious as his half-hearted campaign seemed destined for the crapper, GOP candidate Fred "Yeah, I'm awake" Thompson told Iowa voters this past week: "I would ask people to think of one thing — when our worst enemy's thinking about what he can do to the United States of America, who do you want sitting on our side of the table representing you? That's probably the guy you ought to elect president."Probably, huh? I guess. One that's alert and engaged might be nice, too.
Financially, Thompson essentially is living hand-to-boobmouth. He hardly has enough money for TV ads and mailings. He's lagging his rivals badly in polls, and his light campaign schedule has been undercutting his argument that he's a strong leader.
He hopes to change all that Monday. That's when he opens a five-event-a-day bus tour planned through the Jan. 3 caucuses, save for a Christmas break between December 18th and January 2nd.
