I suspect he will take votes away from Romney not Huckabee. I think this could help Thompson immensely to spend time in Iowa. It will certainly make the campaign more interesting.
You may be right about that! It’s Christmas...it may very well be a gift to all of us! It is the time of year for just such a miracle for WE THE PEOPLE!
That’s a big FRED THOMPSON (true Conservative Federalist) - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERIENCE (I’ll do whatever it takes to stop the bastards) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (arm everyone and the criminals will back off) - SECURE THE BORDERS (starve the bastards and they will go home) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM (the program can’t sustain itself) - DEFEAT THE DEMOCRAT (any fool they put up) - PING!
The Huckabubble will burst soon...
Neither man is fit for the office.
Fred and Rudy are the real deal, and represent the two core wings of the party.
I’ve witnessed him in person twice now. Believe me he’s got a pulse.
When he speaks he hits the nail on the head on EVERY single issue that is important to conservatives.
FRed is the one, it’s obvious to most everyone here, but it’s such a ridiculous process to get there, man. You gotta campaign like a madman in Dirtball City, Iowa to have a chance at the nomination of the national party?! I bet the French, whatever you think of them, do it better.
And, as was posted earlier, even a 2nd or 3rd place finish will keep up the momentum. Of course, all of us going to the caucus for Fred are aiming for 1st place.
...and 1st would be nice!
Its getting a bit tiresome, eh ?
“On other thought occurred to me. They maybe seeing the possibility of a Huck implosion on the near horizon, much sooner than they had hoped, so maybe it has forced a move in a way. No need to go backwards just because Huck could not sustain.”
I had the same thought. I think that this move has a lot to do with him seeing an opportunity. Huck has had a ton of bad news come out. He’s not smart enough and not loaded up with enough money to sustain his current support with that kind of press, so Thompson has an opportunity here.
1. Kill the “fraud” off. Get Huck essentially out of the race now
2. Take up Huck’s support and the support that has been peeled off of Romney, McCain and Rudy
3. Get on the national media radar. They are all in Iowa, so play the game on your terms and with your timing.

Which will work to Fred's advantage, I hope. His campaign has been likened many times to the fable of the tortoise and the hare. It seems that may be an apt comparison.

You're right.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I think Fred does very well on camera, but it's great to hear from those who have actually seen him speak.
In New Hampshire, Fred never began to have a chance.
:-(
Bump to the top! Thanks for the info and post.
Don’t forget:
TAX SIMPLIFICATION.
Okey doke-—we are still waiting.
At this late point he needs to boldly differentiate himself with the others specifically Huckabee. Huck is nice man but the Clinton machine will make mincemeat from him.
Maybe his timing is right...
