All that, . . . . and yet he cannot garner more than 6% or so of the electorate to this point in the primary process. Wow, I'm impressed. Big deal he raised some much money (especially since I suspect that much of that money comes from tainted sources). He does not get support from voters. The people know he's a kook.

The "voters" chose McCain, Hillary and Obama. I'd rather be with the 6% than with the "voters" on that. Most of the country unfortunately is in favor of big government liberalism/socialism. I'm actually shocked Paul got up to 6% and did better in the primaries than Thompson (who had far better name recognition and air time in the media). The 2 most conservatives guys that ran--Hunter (My #1) and Tancredo--polled less than 1% combined. That should show you how far left America has gone even within the Republican Party.

Excellent post. I am also happy to be in the minority who does NOT support the 3 mainstream media-promoted globalists, Hillary, Obama and McCain. In my view, anyone who votes for any of those 3 is being a participant (whether knowingly or not) in the destruction of this country, and the road towards socialism-globalism.

There may have been the assumption that Thompson had name recognition, but I believe it was only an assumption. That, plus his ineffectiveness as a campaigner sunk him.

I don't see this as America having moved that far to the "left" as much as I see two candidates with zero name recognition on a national level, and zero zest in their campaigns.
