Fred Can Win By DIANA FURCHTGOTT-ROTH
With Senator Thompson's official entry into the presidential race, Senator Clinton needs to watch out. Demographics, policies, and personality make Mr. Thompson a formidable opponent, and voters will take him seriously.
Since 1964, all winning presidential tickets have been led by a Southerner or a Westerner, and Mr. Thompson, from Tennessee, fits the profile of a successful candidate. By successful I mean, the candidate capable of beating the leading Democrat, Hillary Clinton.
Mr. Thompson has a potential solid base of Southern support, a base that the other candidates will have a hard time attracting and that the winner may need.
