Can Fred Thompson Sell the War?

If Fred Thompson wants to be President, there's two things he has to do. The first is to convince Republican primary voters that he can sell the war in Iraq to general election voters. Opposition to the war is about 65%. That means Thompson has to show that he can change the minds of 15% of the population. If Thompson can't make it seem like his Reaganesque acting ability, "craggy" good looks, and charm can cut into the anti-war majority, then he's not going to win the nomination. Of course, Thompson would then have to go out and sell the war to the general public.

I don't think it's going to work.
