Uhh Fred. He NEVER ran a REAL campaign.
I always thought he was too tired to start one. His voice always has a certain lack of enthusiasm and always made me feel like taking a nap.
SIGH...this is why FR can be so exasperating at times...
Look, this isn’t about Fred. Yes, he ran a poor campaign, blah, blah, blah... that’s not the point.
As I said in my question, there was a rumor spread around the night before the caucus that he was going to quit. He didn’t start the rumor, somebody else did.
I would like to know who.
Why? ...because (again as I stated above), I’d really like to know who my enemies are and dirty tricks like that suggest other serious character flaws.
Was it Romney, Huckabee, McCain, somebody in their camps, the candidates themselves, somebody else with an axe to grind against Fred...
Given the “insider trashing” of Sarah Palin, I am also curious if it is the same people. Again, I’d like to know.
While they can’t be discussed at the time, we can safely discuss them now.
Thompson torpedoed Thompson. Too much time playing the “will I or won’t I” game and too many announcements about upcoming announcements.
I never could figure out if Fred couldn’t commit 100% to a campaign, or he was just surrounded by bumblers.
No one ran a good campaign, or else they wouldn’t have lost to a boob like McCain.
