Thompson, Tancredo and Beauprez get weird
The GOP is obsessed with electing actors, and that's weird. Tom Tancredo is being sued for $5 million, and that's weirder. But for pure What? Factor weirdness there's this from the Rocky:
Ex-gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez dropped by the Capitol on Tuesday to say that rumors of his political death have been greatly exaggerated.
Beauprez joked with House Republicans that after losing a lopsided election to Democrat Bill Ritter in November some people made him feel "a little like the corpse in the coffin."
"But we did not die. The sun did come up the next day . . . and we're going to live to fight another day," Beauprez said, drawing applause and knowing laughter from the House Republicans Caucus...
He won't rule out a run for the U.S. Senate in 2008.
"You look rested!" shouted Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch.
"Yeah, I'm sorry I am so rested. But I'm not staying idle," said Beauprez. "The virus that is politics is a permanent one."

I just want to jump in front of the inevitable comment or email informing me that Thompson was involved in politics before he was involved in acting. Yeah, I know that. (Wikipedia and IMDB entries.) That doesn't change anything. As CNN reports, Thompson's popularity rests on his fame:
Like Giuliani, Thompson can credit fame for his popularity among voters. "They're both well known. They both have a lot of name recognition. So it appears that some of Giuliani's support, which may have been based on name recognition, is going to Fred Thompson," CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider said.
Right you are, Spartan. And if we are blessed with Giuliani as the opponent, the public will hear plenty about his tremendously high sleaze factor and the low opinion of him held by so many real 9/11 heroes because of what he actually DID (and failed to do) after 9/11, as opposed to the heroic image conveyed by stirring photo-ops.
As for Beauprez, what can we do to convince him to run for Senate? Pretty please? We already have that BWB tag ready to go. With Giulinai and Beauprez in the race, 2008 could be the GREATEST year for Dems, ever.
