Jeez! Over a year before the election and people are pissed because Thompson isn’t prematurely blowing his wad like Romney and Gulliani! He has only been in the race over a month and a half!!
He just did not seem to "want it" enough. But on the other hand, I am wary of those who seem to want it too much! < /backhand slap at she who must not be named >
Oh Jesus, file this one under “yawn”.
I hope people will read the entire article. Thank you for posting it.
But get ready, you are about to get creamed, FReeper pal.
As a still committed Fred Head, this is bunk.
I read about this Florida “fiasco” a few days ago. While I admit it was a mistake and his appearances so far have been a mixed bag, the Debate last week was effective.
And the bottom line in this mushy what’s in it for me and my feelings as demonstrated in this recap is, it’s about the country, the issues, the serious times we’re in and not whether a candidate exits stage right or stage left.
Grow up already.
Good Grief, Charlie Brown!
IS THIS ALL ‘YA GOT?? (Against Fred)
Mission wants a job—Looks like Romney has the money so go for him.
Remember, boys and girls, the election is NEXT FALL—this is a Marathon, not a sprint.
Yep all candidates have their faults including your Willard fellar that this no name Ranger guy is promoting. Sad when a guy proports to be in the media writing stories but changes the names to protect the innocent and won’t even attach his name to his writings. But I guess I can understand some hesitancy when one writes about Roswell.
In any case we’ll all know the outcome within about three months now as the come to Jesus moment is coming for all the candidates some sooner than others but coming never the less....
Now Fred’s supporters would like to spin this situation as a new paradigm in modern campaigning. The old rules are meant to be broken by a media savvy pro who can use the Internet to communicate directly with the American People. While this may be a great script for an avatar in “Second Life,” I am not persuaded that the old rules of starting early, personal contact, sincere involvement, tactical planning, strategic alliances and a defensible platform based upon a successful track record, have been repealed.
WARNING !! PRECIOUS WILLARD PROPAGANDA BARF ALERT !!
Looks like the gist of the story is that the author, a self-described amateur political analyst, sent a suggestion to the Thompson campaign, and it was ignored. The rest is just whining.
Whaaa! Fred, Pay attention to me! I am a political genius! Fred, PAY ATTENTION TO ME!
Fred’s strength has been running a non-traditional campaign, so those complaining he’s not being traditional are of little concern right now. Seems like most of the candidates are stomping around in golf shoes, trying real hard to step on it.
Names have been changed? Hmmm, how very convenient.
Maybe I should claim to be an ex-MittWitt and write some similar hit piece about Multiple-Choice-Mitt. After all, if it gets published it MUST be true.
If I want the opinion of Anonymous I'll look on /b/.
“The gist of the memo was this: Fred should announce his candidacy in a stadium sized event on July 4th. The target crowd size should be 20,000 plus. My assessment was this, in a crowded Republican field, no candidate has yet demonstrated the force of numbers that even Barack Obama demonstrated on his announcement day. An announcement event underlined with the force of numbers, would blow out all the second and third tier candidates, and erode the weak support of Giuliani, McCain, and Romney.”
Had Fred done this, we’d be already discussing how Thompson will take down Hillary. The letdown of his campaign is palpable.
