Fred Thompson on Bhutto’s Assassination (VIDEO) December 28th, 2007 at 01:53 by MsUnderestimated
Fred Thompson was on H&C tonight, and I thought this was one of his best performances ever. Perhaps it was because it was off-the-cuff and not scripted. Whichever it is, I liked it. I’m leaning more towards Fred than I was comfortable doing so before. In this case, Fred is not at a loss for immediate answers, and that’s what we need in a leader in these consequential times.
He’s a plain-spoken man, and I like that. There’s something to be said for laid-back genuineness.
I support Fred Thompson, and I approve this message.
Battling for Republican Bronze in Iowa By Michael Scherer/Creston
Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson has never been one to linger too long shaking hands. He is a deliberative man, who campaigns in short bursts, and enjoys his private time as much as anyone. So when he finished speaking here Wednesday night, in the cramped back room of a restaurant, he never stopped working his way to the exit door. A few minutes and a couple of posed photographs later, he was back on the bus for another long drive through another Iowa snow storm.
Nearly a dozen of his potential supporters remained, however. They circled around Thompson's state chairman, Rep. Steve King, the man who just might lift the struggling campaign to a halfway decent finish in the nation's first caucus state. A popular state conservative, King was holding court, as he often does, on the issue of illegal immigration, which he speaks of as a crisis on par with the war in Iraq.
"The casualties in America are greater on average by far than they are in Iraq," he announced, citing dubious back-of-the-envelope estimates about the number of American homicides committed by people without citizenship. About an hour earlier, King had told the audience that Thompson was the only candidate who knew how to deal with those who had crossed the border illegally. "Fred Thompson says, 'You've got to send them back'," King told the crowd of about 60, earning a hearty round of applause.
The Thompson campaign is hoping that this hawkish immigration message will help earn its candidate a bronze medal on caucus night, January 3. With the two Republican frontrunners, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, both polling over 25%, a respectable third-place finish is the most that Thompson can hope for. But even that won't be easy, since three Republican candidates are vying for the third spot in Iowa — Arizona Sen. John McCain, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Thompson, each with poll numbers that hover around 10%. Though fourth or fifth place is not necessarily a death knell for any of them, they could all certainly use the bump. As Huckabee likes to say on the trail, "There are three tickets out of Iowa — first class, business class, and coach."

But his new position — no "amnesty," crack down on employers who break the law — has had little trouble earning credibility among the state's more hard-line immigration activists. Last week, the anti-immigration movement's standard-bearer, Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, dropped out of the race and threw his support to Romney. But on the ground in Iowa, most of Tancredo's support appears to have shifted to Thompson, including former U.S. Senate candidate Bill Salier, who was Tancredo's state campaign director, and Angie Weaver Anderson, who ran the western end of the state for Tancredo. "I don't know anybody who was with Tancredo who went with Romney," said King, after the last of the crowd had begun to filter out into the snow. "I have yet to find the first person."

Go Fred!
