I'm not just basing it on polling...I think MSM polling means nothing. He isn't doing anything. No effective fundraising, no serious campaign appearances...and if the MSM is lying, let's say his numbers are five times what theyre saying he's got. That wouldn't even beat Thompson, and he's not even in yet!

I don't compare Fred to anyone except the other prosecutors-turned-actor-turned-senator-turned-actor-turned-commentator who are running for president.

Thompson's just unique as a candidate. I think he'll run a unique kind of campaign too.

Conservatives will not support a guy who won't show he can beat Hillary, no matter what his ideology is. He needs to find first gear ASAP.

A field of ten really hurts the Seven Dwarves. If only we could reduce it to two, say Ron Paul and Hunter. Both are very long shots no matter how you slice it but they are just as much issues candidates as they are presidential candidates. Hunter on borders and China and WOT, Paul on all the hard-right ideology issues (outside WOT).

We may be very fond of some others in the race but I also don't see how Tommy Thompson goes anywhere (good resume, no charisma). Gilmore, about the same, not quite as much resume. Huckabee, a little quirky but funny, not that conservative as a governor. Brownback, hmmm...dunno why he's running, angling for VP maybe or just to start a big PAC (Dole/ADM puppet?).

We do need to start thinking about how to avoid letting Giuliani get past us. And McStain. We've just got too many other candidates in the race for them to win. And we risk letting the two we hate the most slip past us.

Yeah, unfortunately, the highest priority at this point has to be negative.

If one of the top three is going to be the nominee, it has to be Romney...but I'm praying we don't have to make that choice.
