Video: Fred Thompson, true conservative [per AllahPundit]
HotAir.com ^ | 11/27/07 | AllahPundit

Two new ads. I like the second half of the first clip — he really is the most stalwart conservative among the big four, a point he should be hammering at every turn. The first half and the second clip in its entirety are devoted to pushing his background as a crusading attorney fighting for what’s right, a noble and notable credential although it’s not obvious to me why it does him much good. Is it his way of showing Rudy’s not the only prosecutor in the race with some big wins to his credit? Of tying himself to his TV persona? He should stick to the “true conservative” stuff and start hitting the fact that while Rudy and Mitt are throwing punches and Huckabee’s chattering about faith, he’s rolling out one policy proposal after another. A skilled director could caricature the others easily and play it for laughs. Fred must have some friends in Hollywood. How about David Zucker?

Seems that Michelle Malkin is warming up to Fred and giving his campaign some advice. I like it.

Yep. Kinda like he knows exactly what needs to be done.

If the voting pubies fall for the Rooty/DBM scam and Fred is not elected the entire nation will loose.

Mea Coupa, Mea Coupa, Mea Maxima Coupa!

I'M BEING CORRECTED, THAT MICHELLE MALKIN IS NOT ALLAHPUNDIT!

SORRY, IF I'M IN ERROR. DON'T KNOW WHERE I GOT THAT. I GUESS I'M NOT A VERY GOOD BLOGGER SINCE I DON'T KNOW ALL THE PUNDITS WHO I'M TOLD ARE "pseudonymous"

SO, I'M TOLD THAT ALLAHPUNDIT IS JUST A pseudonym for an anonymous blogger on Michelle Malkin's HotAir.com

So there, I made my first blunder.... ha ha just kidding... not the first.

I think these ads work best together, shown from one commercial break to the next during a single program. One builds up Fred's character, then the other continues to tout his character then hits you with his conservative credentials.

But I agree with the blogger's idea that Fred should try to stand out with his commercials by pointing out his policy proposals. I know there's only a small amount of time, but he can at least point out the subjects of his proposals and what they intend to do, then the fact that they've received strong reviews, then could point people to the website for further detail.

Michelle Malkin

No offence to the Duncies, but I'd take her advice over Ann Coulter's any day of the week.

Fred Dalton Thompson - the thinking man's candidate.

/I hope he does better than Adlai

Well, surprise, surprise! AllahPundit has NOT been particularly warm to Fred in the past. Perhaps he’s coming around!

It started at 8 pm Eastern. It was on CNN.
They will run it again, not sure when though.
