The amount of ‘chatter’ about Fred this week has been monumental when compared to the past. And it all began with his appearance at the Iowa debate.
Suddenly he’s picking up meaningful endorsements (at least meaningful regionally such as Steve King). Suddenly even people like Evans & Novak are writing about him. Now speculation has Tancredo dropping out of the race and, naturally, that speculation centers around who he’ll endorse. Thompson? It could be what with Steve King being a close friend of Tancredo.
When Fred said after King’s announcement that “more’s to come” (or words to that effect), was he speaking of Tancredo? Or is Tancredo just one of more we can expect? Time will tell. But one thing isn’t debatable; there’s momentum to be seen.
I could see Tanc endorsing Fred.
In fact...I bet Tanc is talking to Fred right now to make sure he’s good and serious about his immigration plan (which Tancredo could have written...)
Then he’ll drop out and endorse the WINNER in this race. Hunter should do the same.
I have noticed the same thing.
I also understand there has been some considerable internal dissent regarding NR’s endorsement (read: KLo’s school girl crush on) Romney by some of the more serious thinkers there, generally in favor of Thompson.
Tanc was my second choice. If he does drop out, I hope he throws his support to Fred.
