I agree with you completely. However, what was of particular interest was Medved's sense that Fred is not willing to make the tremendous sacrifices it takes to run and raise money. If this is true, Fred 'aint in the race, although I hoped he would be.

BTW, I was not happy that Medved was so positive about McCain - just when he seemed stuck in the polls.

Michael Medved is a gentleman's gentleman when it comes to politics. He is extremely intelligent, frightfully knowledgeable about history, but curiously lacking the "fire in the belly" that it takes to crush Dhimmicrats. He is loathe to burn bridges and recognizes the contributions that McCain has made to the Republican Party. He will also reluctantly acknowledge the betrayals that McCain has made, but usually with a caveat diminishing the betrayal aspect. Medved is a complex character who is a practitioner of the 11th commandment and one of my favorites.

I agree with you that sense of Medved's comments on Thompson had to do with timing issues - if he runs, will he be able to accumulate sufficient resources to mount a campaign?

Medved (along with a raft of other pundits) recognizes that the race for '08 started too soon. But started it did, and now those who want to run had best get their shoes laced!

Rockrr sez, "Run Fred, run!"

I am sick of people saying that Fred won't campaign.

He was losing his campaign in Tenn. in 1994 and from all accounts he turned it around in a three month period to win with 61% and the largest number of votes in Tennessee history.
