The Next President

Senator John McCain wants to be president so badly it must hurt. But I'm not so sure he is the best the Republican Party can put forward. Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson has that all important charisma factor and would very likely trounce any of the potential Democratic contenders.

Bill Clinton had charisma and that, more than anything else, is why he was so hated by hard core Republicans. But for the most part the Democratic Party has been charisma challenged in presidential elections. Al Gore and John Kerry were symptomatic of a death wish, if you ask me. I ask again, where is Joe Kennedy when the country needs him. He could beat almost any Republican candidate, except Fred Thompson.
