| Description | Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson got a bit testy here recently when a reporter asked him if his heart really was in the 2008 presidential race.
At times, Thompson doesn't act -- or look -- like it.
Critics say he seems to lack the kind of fire and brimstone that excites crowds or gives them a reason to vote for him. Translated, he doesn't have the fire in his belly, they say.
Thompson, the former U.S. senator from Tennessee, quickly takes issue, calling the concern old news.
"That is just the same old opposition talking point" that has been heard for years, Thompson said in a brief interview. "I really don't hear it anymore."
He may not. But others do.
Thompson blamed the media for resurrecting the old concern. |
