You still don’t understand. Think about the difference between motive and procedure.
An analogy to help you: imagine a student who hates to study but does it anyway for moral reasons, earning straight A’s.
You are going to be surprised by how well Fred Thompson does in Iowa.
I think we’ll all be surprised by how poorly he does. I’m now convinced he will finish behind McCain, and probably Giuliani. It’s about 50/50 whether or not he’ll be Ron Paul at this point.
You are deluding yourself if you think he’s been campaigning. He hasn’t been. He’s basically the hare in the race, not the tortoise as some have insisted. He’s not slow and steady. He’s came out strong and fast when he entered, rocketing to the top of the GOP field. Then he decided to take a nap under a tree until the very end, where he thinks he can sprint to a finish. He was wrong. He’s disappointed all of us who were behind him. That’s why he’s lost 70% of us. It’s really a damn shame.
