FRED THOMPSON - THE NEXT REAGAN?

Bruce Walker has written a series of articles on why Fred Thompson is in fact the next Ronald Reagan. His 3/22/07 article titled "Yes, The Next Reagan" list 7 reasons why:

1. Generates enthusiasm, unlike Bush I, Dole and Bush II, and is a phenomenal communicator.
2. Ethical, and has the principled stands over his career to prove it.
3. Would unite the leadership of the Republican Party.
4. The rap on Thompson that he is lazy doesn't work: accomplished lawyer, Senator, TV star, does not happen to lazy people.
5. He will sweep the South and would run strongly in swing states like Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, Oregon and New Hampshire.
6. He cannot be demonized.
7. He will have to be campaigned against on the issues.

I don't know if I agree with all the points, but it is an interesting take worth reading here and discussing if you get the urge!
