As you know, recently we've closely followed the campaign of Jeri Kehn Thompson and her husband Fred (or, at least some aspects of that campaign).

On Stage Together

Jeri Kehn Thompson (born September 30, 1966) is a former media consultant to a Washington law firm, who also worked for the Republican Senate Conference and the Republican National Committee. Ms. Thompson is married to Fred Thompson, ExSenator, attorney, actor, and struggling 2008 Republican Presidential Candidate. According to many reports Ms. Thompson is not a trophy wife, or arm candy. She urged her husband to run, helped recruit some of his key staffer, and according to Michelle Cottle (Jeri Rigged: The machinations of Mrs. Fred Thompson", The New Republic, 2007-10-22), has also been responsible for the dismissal of other staff members.

Although Jeri Kehn is 24 years younger than the Ex-Senator, most people don't consider it a deal-breaker. After all, Frances Folsom Cleveland was 27 years younger than President Grover Cleveland, and Julia Gardiner Tyler was 30 years younger than President John Tyler.
But that's not an issue, really. After it's almost criminally late start, Thompson has drawn fire for his anemic fund-raising and campaign schedules. It's now widely acknowledged that the senator is having a tough time conveying--and generating!--enthusiasm for his bid. The conventional wisdom says that Thompson's heart isn't in the fight. Even if she can sell herself to voters, can she sell them on a husband that seems to not much care about closing the deal?
