I think the critical state primary for Fred is South Carolina’s. He must win there, and I expect he will.
He has my vote-but then I’m one of the few non-Baptists down here.
Lets hope the Huckster doesn’t flim-flamm the faithful of SC.
Still,the Huckabee “Willie Horton” scandal certainly won’t help him in our solid “law and order” state.

This is interesting. Thank you for posting it.
Hey, if they get fooled by the "I'm one of you" argument, they deserve what they get. Cajuns in Louisiana voted overwhelmingly for Katherine "Babineaux" Blanco and against Bobby Jindal (in his first run for governor), because she "was one of them", and look at the result--can you say Katrina and Rita.
They appear to have learned their lesson in Jindal's SECOND run.
Yes, Fred is dead, but it's because very few voters actually want government limited and because that is the exact thing Fred is proposing.
Well, I am a Baptist and, like you, I am a Navy veteran and I consider Fred Thompson the only hope on the horizon. I watched the Charlie Rose interview on the web and I began to understand all the negative press, Fred simply scares the liberals so bad they are soiling their clothing.
Real Clear Politics poll average in South Carolina, as of today, FRed surges past Roody Doody to take 2'nd place.!
He is doing better in the polls. The main reason, though, I think is that Giuliani has taken a dive. It would be much better if he were going up on the strength of his own candidacy.
Fortunately, Hillary is in a similar predicament, but I still don’t think there is any real doubt that Hillary will beat Obama.
I just ordered a sweat shirt off of his website. Close to $40 bucks with Fedex shipping. It is my Christmas present to myself, not a winter holiday present. I am looking forward to wearing it to the several events of the holidays, in particular, some "family" events.
Good for you.Sounds like you want to stir up a little family cheer.Have fun.

I disagree. Blanco was a HUGE part of the problem. Read up on the different approaches of Blanco and Jindal when responding to the levee breaches. Blanco diddled and stewed. Jindal assumed authority to get things done. In one instance, a company with a flight of helicopters was trying to get permission to "go in" and start pulling people out. State gov't couldn't get its act together to say "yes". Jindal, when contacted simply said "go in". He probably didn't have the legal authority as a district congressman to say that---but it got done.
"Yes, Fred is dead, but it's because very few voters actually want government limited and because that is the exact thing Fred is proposing."
And THIS I disagree with completely. Fred seems to me to be doing quite well. Certainly the MSM is doing everything they can to tear him down.
so, how is this not a government failure again?

50 percent of voting Americans will vote for a Democrat. A large percentage of Republicans support someone like nanny~state Huckabee. So, you may disagree with me completely, but it doesn’t make you correct.
I like Fred, but will go with whoever wins the primary. That’s better than what they (dems) have to offer.
Not really. Ms. Zoller starts out talking about why we shouldn't count Fred out, and she ends that way ... but there's no sustained analysis of WHY we shouldn't count him out.
A rehearsal of the problems with Social Security is all very nice, but it doesn't explain the electoral dynamics that Ms. Zoller purports to be discussing. Why will this resonate with primary voters so that Fred gets nominated? That's the important question, and she dodges it.
This "analysis" is really nothing more than a campaign advocacy piece for Fred Thompson.
So, who are YOU carrying water for?
