Us, Fred, and The FredHeads in NH

[Steve Smith]

We had the good fortune to meet Sen. Fred Thompson in NH.  We saw him for a little while at the airport.  We were even more fortunate to be seated at the next table during lunch at the Merrimack Restaurant.  I'm not impressed easily.  Sometimes, you see someone on the screen, and in the news, and you build this image of them.  It's almost impossible for them to live up to that.  Fred did.  He was courteous.  He listened to people.  We were lucky enough to hear him rant a little over lunch, without reporters in earshot.  Fred Thompson is the real deal.  I regret to report that Fred Thompson is a lousy actor.  You know all those movies where he was cast as an Admiral, or President, or other commanding figure?  That wasn't acting.  It was type-casting.  The United States of America deserves to have Fred Thompson as our President.

Hi Steve, welcome aboard.

NH coverage will be particularly interesting to read.  Can you send us some links to local coverage?

Thanks.

There is surprisingly little coverage.  The skeptical Yankees don't want to talk about him until he makes it "official".
