I am a Fred Thompson supporter based on his stated positions on issues and some positions I assume he will have. Even though I am a Constitution Party member I plan to vote early and often for Fred Thompson should he get the Republican nomination for President of the United States.

However, especially after his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the comparisons to Ronald Reagan are just not there. During the interview I could not help notice that the gravitas President Reagan naturally exuded was certainly not present with Mr. Thompson.

Even Fred Thompson’s suit did not inspire “presidentiality“.

Compare to Ronald Reagan both as President and also as Governor appearing on the television program “The Sonny and Cher Show”.

He was always impeccably dressed, polished, and comfortable in front of the audience and cameras. And boy could he ever wear a tuxedo.

Even though Fred Thompson is a politician by trade and only became an actor by good fortune, it came across very conspicuously that Fred Thompson, while possessing a distinguished voice, has neither the dignitas nor pietas of his closest ideological cousin, Ronald Reagan.

All in all, not a good “first impression” to give the American People as an introduction to Fred Thompson the Candidate. He should rethink his wardrobe department for the campaign. Maybe he should get one to begin with.
