Look, I still back Thompson but he’s blown it. Where has he been? He practically dropped out of sight and now he’s double digits behind. I don’t think he can catch up which is horrile...........
Nothing could be further from the truth. Fred's been going like crazy in Iowa. The latest polling I've seen (very recent) has Fred at 16% in Iowa.
Even before Fred started his Iowa swing, Fred's schedule was equal to the other candidates. I believe that this was checked and it was discovered that Fred Thompson had the second busiest schedule of all the Republical candidates.
What you are noticing is the strange phenomenon that the MSM won't cover Fred. Now you and I can speculate why that might be, but you ought to beware of buying the conventional wisdom that says Fred's a no-show, because it is a lie.
Somebody on another thread said that if Fred came in first in the Iowa caucuses, the MSM would report that Huck came in a strong second with Myth right behind, never bothering to mention that Fred won. There is a lot of truth in that speculative observation.
