I’m sorry.. but Fred Thompson has to be the MOST DISAPPOINTING GOP Presidential candidate in a quarter century...
Fred thought he could be lazy..not really campaign very hard in Iowa...New Hampshire..He didn’t even announce his campaign until AFTER the important Iowa Straw Poll...
IF Thompson has campaigned with a modicum of urgency..and instead of saying things like “I’m not really interested in running for President”..a...
IF Thompson had put the effort into building grassroots support bases in these early states...
IF Thompson showed the tenacity and fire that marked his term as a Senator in the Congress.....
IF he had done ANY of this..he’d likely be the front runner right now..
Fellow conservatives...lets face reality here.. Fred Thompson IS NOT the candidate we thought he was...
3rd in Iowa...5th in Michigan...and 6th in New Hampshire...this are NOT the results that a potential NOMINEE needs to have in order to capture the nomination.
The Fred Thompson Campaign will be summed up with these words..”If Only”....
Don’t try to blame anyone but Thompson himself.. Thats why you’re seeing people like Limbaugh and the like trying to “Rush” to his aid...
If Thompson is already having to rely on Rush Limbaugh to come and save his candidacy....well..is this really the BEST candidate to take on Hillary/Obama?
South Carolina is in 2 days. Fred is working hard to win that state.
I should think that we could at least wait until after THAT state is done voting before we start writing post-mortems?
It appears that this year, I don’t know if it’s the size of the field or the compression of the primaries, but I think alot of them are picking and choosing where to campaign, spend money, etc.....
Some of us find the fact that Fred Thompson doesn’t appear to have a personal desire to be President very refreshing. Even though Reagan ran a couple of times, he didn’t appear to want to be President either, maybe it’s an ego thing.
Fred is laid back and mostly conservative. He’s no Reagan, but nobody is. I hope he prevails and plan to vote for him in the FL primary based on issues, not personality. I hope South Carolinians do the same thing in the end.
Perhaps the pollsters are being purposely misled!?!
