Which is preferable to a candidate who has never had anything to squander.
***It’s time to stop throwing good money after bad. Get rid of the one who squandered lots of resources. It’s a sign he’s a lousy campaigner, especially since he had a lot of good name recognition.

I’m not begging you.

Sure you are. It's in most of your posts.

As for your "facts," you stomped out your credibility a long time ago. You are FR's resident disinformatsia expert.

You're not taking his words literally. Either you're misrepresenting them deliberately and disingenously or your reading comprehension is quite poor.

Nope. You can hide behind the fact that I got suspended, but the only ‘fact’ you ever remotely came close to disputing was when I used quotes for a paraphrase, which I then immediately corrected.

Hunter Duncan squandered 97% of his contract value at Intrade. His chances of winning are shown at .1 because there's no lower number on the Intrade scale.

According to Intrade, it's twice as likely that Newt Gingrich will get the GOP nomination, and four times as likely that Condie Rice will get it.

You’ve been suspended twice this year. Your credibility is vanishingly small.

I’ve been suspended at least 5 or 6 times from FR. Only once for pissing off Jim regarding Fred. And it was not a lie, it was for posting Ramesh Ponnuru’s critical column, if I recall.

So one candidate’s numbers are in the low teens and the other is in, well less than 1%. And using your logic the 1%er is the better campaigner. You and pissant are cut from the same cloth.Fred has a slim chance at winning, Duncan has none. Simple truth!

It must be a sad place to be when all his hopes are tied up in seeing a good man fail.

No, actually, I’m in a very unsad place. I’ve never felt as good about supporting a candidate since 1984

You’re entirely in control of your own credibility and reputation. True to your name, you piss it away at nearly every chance.

South Carolina is the test for him. A weak showing there and he is finished, a strong showing and he should be able to maintain a viable campaign.

Current RCP averages have him 13 points behind Huckabee in SC, and that is before Iowa. Where do you see Thompson making gains between now and SC?

Coming from you, that is a compliment.

They also show John McCain ahead of Huck by 20% in NH. If that holds thru the NH primary where will Huck be? This thing is fluid right now and these polls will change dramatically as the each primary is concluded. I would not put to much stock in polls. If McCain persists in NH it will have the same effect on Huck as Huck had on Romney. It is always the expectations game.

You are embarrassing yourself if you think Fred’s record on pork is better than Hunters. Got news for ya, darling. It ain’t.

The Club for Growth, the National Taxpayers Union and anyone who is not delusional knows that your post is untrue.

I would love to see Thompson as a viable candidate,worth supporting, but it does not look good now.

A “sad place” is not about your feelings(sorry) it’s that you make yourself look like a contemptable person scratching around for some bad comment to crow about. I feel sorry for lots of people that don’t think I should feel sorry for them and I feel sorry that you make your chosen candidate look bad by being petty and vindictive.
Stay classy!

I don't. I'm hopeful, but not optimistic, that he can get things in gear. I've been speaking ill of his campaign team ever since they announced the all-out effort in Iowa, and have no real reason to believe they will suddenly start to play smart.
