Here’s an intrade link to the forum site discussing how Hunter might be gaining traction.

Fred has lost ~30 points at Intrade over the last few weeks, looks like it’s stabilizing at ~6%.

Here is the PDF if anyone couldn’t see it on the link. Good job calpernia . . .
It is a nice flyer though. It is campaign material :) Of course, not ‘official’ campaign material; but folded in half with one staple, it just takes one label and stamp. Very convenient that the voter registration lists can be delived upon request in label form ^-^
I love Hunter, but I absolutely will not attack Thompson. He is our next best conservative candidate next to Hunter. If Hunter fails, then Thompson is perhaps our only hope of getting a conservative nominee.
Hunter - then Thompson, but attacking Thompson only gives headway to the RINOs. I will never do anything to give Rudy McRomney more traction and denigrating Fred does just that.

Excerpt:
Fred Thompson
*Fred Thompson Senate Archives Show Pro-Life,
Pro-Abortion Position Papers Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)
—Likely Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson is making his first trip to Iowa today in what could be a precursor to announcing an official candidacy. However, the Thompson camp is confronting a new report showing two sets of position papers on abortion in his Senate archives.
ABC News combed through the archives of papers Thompson made available to the University of Tennessee after representing the state in the U.S. Senate.
It found two one-page papers from 1996 discussing Thompson’s abortion position that appear to paint the senator in the best light when his record is described to either side of the abortion debate.
The pro-life version includes a presentation of Thompson’s pro-life voting record and details seven votes against taxpayer-funded abortions and one supporting the ban on partial-birth abortions.
The pro-abortion version contains nearly identical language, but omits the list of pro-life votes and the language concerning his “pro-life voting record.” -LifeNews, August 18, 2007
* Thompson said he supports the Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade decision that established a constitutional right to abortion. – Interview, Memphis Commercial Appeal, July 1993.
* “The Supreme Court has attempted to delineate the constitutionally appropriate roles for individual and governmental decision-making on the issue of abortion. Beyond that, I believe that the federal government should not interfere with individual convictions and actions in this area”. – Fred Thompson, 1996 Tennesseans for Choice Questionnaire.
* “I have read these accounts and tried to think back 13 years ago as to what may have given rise to them. Although I don’t remember it, I must have said something to someone as I was getting my campaign started that led to a story. Apparently, another story was based upon that story, and then another was based upon that, concluding I was pro-choice.” – Fred Thompson to the Weekly Standard, 2007.
* Mr. Thompson, who has formed a “testing the waters” committee and is likely to make an official announcement of his candidacy soon, has long taken a federalist approach to abortion, saying that Roe v. Wade should be overturned and that states should decide the issue for themselves. He opposes a constitutional amendment banning abortion, his spokesman, Mark Corallo, said yesterday. – June 2007, NY Sun
* Voted YES on a Balanced-budget constitutional amendment. (Mar 1997) – On the Issues, Fred Thompson
*Bill Number: S J Res 21
Issue: Congressional Affairs
Date: 04/23/1996
Sponsor: Sen Thompson, Fred [TN]
Official Title of Legislation: S J Res 21: A joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to limit congressional terms.
* “I am unabashedly pro-life”. – Fred Thompson, August 2007, Iowa

Thank you; but I just uploaded it. It wasn’t my artwork :)
He voted pro-life 100% of the time.
His position is consistent with an anti-abortion Federalist.
Nice try at spin though, I’ll give you a C for effort.
If we were posting, “Fred is a dirty trashcan full of poop”, that is an attack.
Comparing records to make a decision, it process of elimination.
Not an attack.
And I thought the Hunter fans couldn't get much more pathetic... guess I was wrong.
Hunter is in this to win, not for helping anyone else.
I’ll give you a D for effort.
Point out the distortions, please.
Very cool
