It's An Endorsement Of The First Rank
It Pays To Be Nice To The Exes

Former wives and girlfriends think highly of Fred Thompson:
IN the battle for the women's vote, Fred Thompson has a secret weapon against Hillary Clinton - the legions of former girlfriends who still adore him and who want him to be president.
The Hollywood actor and former Tennessee senator racked up an impressive list of conquests during his swinging bachelor days in the 1990s, but he appears to have achieved the impossible and kept their friendship and respect.
Lorrie Morgan, a country singer who dated Thompson and considered marrying him in the mid1990s, told The Sunday Times: "I couldn't think of a bad word to say about Fred if somebody put a gun to my head.
"Fred is a perfect example of chivalry. He's the kind of man little girls dream about marrying, who opens doors for you, lights your cigarettes, helps you on with your coat, buys wonderful gifts. It's every woman's fantasy." Thompson, who wooed Baroness Thatcher during a visit to London last week, is expected to announce officially next month that he is running for president. He is already challenging Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, for first place in polls of likely Republican voters.
Morgan remembers encouraging Thompson to run for president when they were together. "I think he has a great chance of capturing the women's vote. He's majestic. He's a soft, safe place to be and that could be Fred's ticket. Women love a soft place to lay and a strong pair of hands to hold us," she said.
Georgette Mosbacher, a leading Republican fundraiser who dated Thompson after Morgan and remains a good friend, said he would defeat Clinton because of his appeal to "traditional women who will like the Southern gentleman in him".
He is just as able to charm professional women, she added: "Another thing that is extremely attractive about Fred is that he is a really good listener. As a woman you can talk to Fred about any subject and know that you're getting someone who respects your opinion and isn't just being polite."
There isn't a dollar amount you can put on that kind of publicity. And to be perfectly honest, if I were running the Thompson campaign, I would get the ladies mentioned in this story to do a commercial together for Thompson. It would be one of the more popular commercials in the campaign season and may even pass into Presidential campaign legend as a defining advertisement for a candidate.

Fred is hot!! Any man who can breakup and remain friends with his formers is hot and I think it might show his ability to communicate:)
The very reasons listed are the very reasons why he'd never do such a commercial.
He's got class, and better yet, he's an honorable man.
I think that says all you need to know about the personality and morality of this man. After all, just who remains friends with ex-girlfriends! Geez, this man is a god!
Formally known as Deagle... "Golf is a way of life..."
I think you must be on crack.
Cordially,

Wonder how many of Rodham's ex girlfriends are willing to publicly endorse her like this
what this means is he's a man's man. Men want to be him and women want to be with him. It's an invaluable asset.
And just for the record, I voted for Clinton twice and always found him personally and physically repugnant. Not all women lusted after him!
You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.
