Fred Dalton Thompson doesn’t have much hair
When I think about my career with fingers in different pies, it’s not that unusual. Sen. Fred Dalton Thompson of Tennessee, whom Americans will know from Law & Order and whom most of us foreigners know from Die Hard 2, could hold down representing his state and plain representin’ on TV and film.
I kept saying that Republicans might find a candidate who is well known. Could it be Mr Thompson? More people have seen him than Sen. McCain. Only former mayor Giuliani has a higher profile.
But all these guys do not have much hair.
Americans always have trouble voting for someone who has less hair than his opponent, whether for a presidential, senatorial or congressional race (there are some exceptions, of course). You can be black or female, just not bald.
