Thompson who grew up in Tennessee, represented Tennessee in the U.S. Senate and now running as a presidential candidate from Tennessee, he could at least get his state history correct. On his website, Thompson compares himself to Daniel Boone of Tennessee. Maybe they meant Crockett since Bone was from Pennsylvania. They confused Tennessee-born frontiersman and politician Davy Crockett with Daniel Boone, the trailblazer who was born in Pennsylvania, raised in North Carolina, and served in the Virginia legislature. In the tradition of Daniel Boone of Tennessee and President George Washington, citizen-legislators and leaders Thompson had admired growing up, he walked away from an easy reelection victory to seek new challenges. On the other hand, Davy Crockett was born in Tennessee, and later represented the state in the U.S. House. But Crockett did not walk away from an easy reelection victory. Of course, what may be confusing the campaign team — which is said to include non-Tennesseans like Mary Matalan, Lawrence Lindsey, Ken Khachigian, Dave Bossie and Victoria Toensing — is the fact that Crockett and Boone were both played by Fess Parker on television 40 years ago.

The one on the left is from the first season, 1964-65, when the character still looked somewhat Crockett-ish, and the one on the right is from about 1968. The Crockett movies are from 1954, a full decade prior to the Boone series.

The only thing I see is that his father was a used car salesman. Nothing about his grandparents, etc.How did he get to TN, if he was born in another state (SC I think)?

Even Nader could beat a lobbyist. Hell, Kucinich could beat a K Street lobbyist who's a Republican to boot. With the right spin, Fred's former professional 18-year affiliation could remind voters of ... what was his name? That other Republican K Street lobbyist. Aramov? Abramoff? That's it. Jack Abramoff. In prison at the moment for dirty lobbying. Question is, which <i>Republican</i> will be first to point this out - Rudy, Romney or St. Ron Paul. Yes, Fred, please run.
