Ronald Reagan is considered one of the best presidents the USA has ever had. He was also an actor. The only real difference between Reagan and Fred Thompson is that Fred is not as photogenic.

Americans vote for people they like. We don't often use logic when picking our politicians. We vote for who is most likable. How else would Dubya end up as president. Kerry would have been a better president but most people did not like his stance on homosexual issues so we picked the religeous nut instead.

American politics is scary but it's hard for an unlikable person to get elected. Charisma goes along way these days.
