Deeply disappointed in Fox News and especially in Brit for their very strange and incomprehensible fear or dislike of Fred.

Wish somebody could ‘splain it to me.

Right after someone explains the complete failure to recognize Duncan Hunter.

Sad.

It may be two things: 1. Thompson rarely does interviews with Fox News. 2. When he does interviews with Fox he does them by avoiding their big time slots....Bill Oreilly and Hannity and Colmes.

Thats probably why Fox News isnt so excited about Thompson.

To be fair to Brit, he sees behind the scene stuff that we don't. Freds campaign, so far, has been lacking.

Two examples of this are his campaigns failure to give credence to either Iowa or New Hampshire. Saying they really didn't matter as much as South Carolina. And then magically in the past two weeks, now they have decided that Iowa was important (maybe because he was loosing ground in SC?). He is currently, according to Rasmussen at 2% in NH. Behind Paul and Tancredo.

The other example of his campaign "not gaining traction", is the fact that this week, they failed to even get on the Delaware ballot. The requirements for getting on the ballot are 500 signatures, yet they only mustered up 281 (many of those are also being disqualified, so the final number will be less). Delaware is a Super Tuesday primary, a organized campaign would not just "write it off".

Having said all that, only time will tell if his campaign can pull it off, but at this point his campaign (not the candidate, the campaign) has not been overly impressive. Because in the end, it's not the message, it is the presentation of that message that matters in elections.
