No Thompson has the wrong message and that’s why he lost and will continue to lose. If Fred had Huckabee’s strong positions on abortion and gay marriage, then Fred would be the winner. The deep south will see things the same way.

If Fred had Huckabee’s strong positions on abortion and gay marriage, then Fred would be the winner.

Fred has strong positions on abortion and gay marriage. He's just not Baptist.

Having said that, Fred needs to figure out how to get his message to resonate with voters without changing it. I don't think Huckabee cares what the message is as long as it resonates. Fred can run a conservative campaign that resonates. Here's hoping he will.
