The Case Against Fred Thompson

Fred Thompson, or more specifically those who want Fred Thompson to run, hav been making a lot of noise about his candidacy. I would like to know more, but here is a case against a Fred Thompson candidacy. the biggest problem may be that he has not been tested as a candidate and
Thompson would have to start entirely from scratch, building the organiztion and fundraising networks to compete with Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and even John McCain. And he's starting far behind them. Thompson doesn't have a great deal of experience in doing such, which isn't to say he can't, but he has fought neither a difficult race in hostile territory like Rudy and Mitt nor a Presidential race like McCain. It's not to say he can't do it, but it is to say that being "drafted" and simply wanting to is enough.
A good post.
