Those of us who pay attention to the candidates' voting records have always been for Fred (that would be the majority of Freeperdom), and it has been agonizing to watch the media treatment of him. Even Fox. Does anybody know, what was this thing about him refusing to go on O'Reilly? Was that a major gaffe by a Thompson staffer, or a stab in the back by an O'Reilly staffer?
BO's producers had been trying to get Fred on the factor for several months. They asked him five times and each time Fred turned them down flat. However.. Fred did offer BO a ride on his campaign bus. 8>).
Then Jeri went on the factor and several weeks later so did Fred.
BO didn't bloviate and let Fred talk his issues. IOW it was a rare and serious interview were the 'bloviator' kept his 'bloviating' under control.
My guess is Fred laid down some conditions before he would appear.
