When Fred Thompson announces, more states WILL be in play....
no way. Thompson can win the general, but the idea that he is going to turn the map into some Reagan landslide is not true. In fairness, Rudy can’t either. But Thompson’s electoral strategy is as narrow as the Bush stategy was in 2000 and 2004. Thompson isn’t winning NJ, would need a miracle to win PA.
Thompson would have to work to flip Wisconsin, hold Iowa, and hold Colorado and Nevada if Richardson is the VP. That’s his game plan.
