NYT

I am normally skeptical of the New York Times, but this article is on Fred Thompson so I figured I would give it a read. It would appear from the article the campaign trail may be a bit hard on Fred.
Since Thursday morning, when the tour began, Mr. Thompson has made no more than three campaign stops a day, with long stretches in between. In recent spins through Iowa, he kept a similarly relaxed schedule. Mitt Romney, by comparison, often does six town-hall-style forums a day when in Iowa.
That image of Romney juxtaposed to the commercial of him running and on the campaign trail. It's almost as if that commercial was aimed right at Fred Thompson. While none of the candidates are exactly young, you should only remind yourself of Regan who always was attacked for his age and frequent naps. If I were Fred I would remind voters of this fact if they start to attack his age or constant tiring. Personally I could care less if a President can run a marathon or is obese, if he is consistent in what I wanted when I voted for him and gets the job done...who cares. Any thoughts?
