I see you just signed up a couple of weeks ago.
Nothing about Sarah Palin’s strategy reminds anyone of Fred Thompson campaign. As a “veteran” of FR, you must know that Thompson had no grass roots organizers out for him in advance of his announcement, Thompson had no blockbuster movie touting his achievements in an Executive office and in fighting corruption, Thompson was never featured on the cover of a national magazine with the caption “I can win”, and Thompson had the energy level of a snail on valium, whereas Palin is perhaps the most energetic candidate ever to dome down the pike.
Other than those “minor” differences, they seem pretty similar, /sarc/
I was in Iowa in 2008 for the very early days of the Thompson campaign. Fred was a boring speaker, never have I seen a room so uninspired and tired by the time a candidate got done with their speech. Sarah Palin has energy, great oratory skills, and a more dedicated following than Fred ever did. She’s no FDT.
She is no Fred, and has 1,000 times the grassroots. This is real and happening.
