Spencer Abraham has never been, and will not be Senator Thompsons campaign manager. He is helping with the liason to government officials such as Congressmen, Senators and State & Local officials.

“Traditionally, presidents have announced in the fall of the year before an election,
and he said he plans to do the same this year. “I would expect that we would make a statement in short order,” Thompson said.”

All the dim Dem pundits keep trying to make a big thing of the fact that Thompson’s campaign donations have been “disappointing”. If everyone else is like me, we’ve been saving our money to donate WHEN he announces. Anyone else?

I found a great website last night thanks to Michelle Malkin! It is called RIGHTROOTS. They have a very nice blog they are still working on and you can make contributions to your candidates from their site. It was designed as competition for the Dem web. If you get a chance go by and sign up. We need to give the Dummies some competition for the ‘net!

I’ll be VOLUNTEERING for him.

I want Fred as the next President.

[nmh]

They’re afraid of the dreaded Fred ...

[singfreedom]

I’m going to volunteer as well, but do go by the RIGHTROOTS website and sign up for their blog and comments though. We just can’t let the dim Dems win the Internet war this time around!

I’m a FREDHEAD!

“Spencer Abraham has never been, and will not be Senator Thompsons campaign manager. He is helping with the liason to government officials such as Congressmen, Senators and State & Local officials.”

Doesn’t matter....the position Spencer Abraham holds isn’t the issue. The issue is that he was invited to join Team Fred in the first place.

Why, we have jobs and take time to bathe...

Amazing that a Duncan supporter would have an issue with a Republican doing anything in a Republican campaign...

Oh yeah, I forgot, he’s swarthy...

[Clara Lou]

Really?? Well, given that Duncan Hunter is at less than 1% in the polls, I'd say he needs all of the help he could get. I'll bet he wouldn't turn down Spencer Abraham.

But, then, Duncan Hunter isn't running a campaign. He just says he is.

I just realized this:

KimberlyGG is really Nelly Olsen!!

Wish I’d heard Fred’s address on C-Span yesterday.
Hope it’s posted somewhere ~ too bad about the power outage.

[Clara Lou]

Surely C-span will post the video. [Maybe they had a backup video camera that actually caught the whole thing.] It was really very good. Thompson’s awesome in message and delivery.

Yawn

Tired from picking all those sour grapes?

Tired from picking all those sour grapes?

No...from turning them into whine.

LOL!!!

I saw it on replay. It was pretty good and definitely worth watching for those considering Fred. It will replay again at noon Eastern time. Schedule here:
