Fred Thompson at the Republican Debate in Myrtle Beach
"Gentle Giant" Fred speaks up and wows the crowd at the South Carolina debate.
By PAUL VITELLO
Published: January 12, 2008
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - John and Ann Berenberk dutifully watched the umpteenth Republican presidential debate on television on Thursday night and had an epiphany. It was about the candidate they had previously referred to as the tall, silent one. Fred D. Thompson.
The last of the candidates to enter the race, Mr. Thompson, 65, a former Tennessee senator, has so far seemed to distinguish himself mainly by a laconic style that has made him almost invisible beside the others on the stage in past debates, the Berenberks said.
"But then last night - we hadn't even been thinking about him - all of a sudden it was clear he was the one," said Mr. Berenberk, a retired teacher. "The bluntness, the forcefulness. He was really impressive."
Whether this was a new Fred Thompson, or just a sign of mirage-inducing campaign fatigue among voters, many people attending Mr. Thompson's campaign rallies here on the day after the debate reported having similar revelations.
(Read the rest of the article here then watch clips from the debate below.)
