Your opinion is so depressing to a student of American politics. You say you are depressed about Fred’s showing before a single votes has been cast. NO matter who your candidate is, if you are serious about supporting him you need to be out talking to friends and neighbors, volunteering time and writing the campaign with your thoughts and views. Government can only be FOR the people if it has the CONTRIBUTION of the people.
And, no, posting on FR does not qualify as active support. That’s just noise, however comforting.
Sorry to depress you, but he isn't doing well in the polls. If he is still on the ballot when the primary in Kansas is conducted, I will vote for him. But it doesn't look good.
I've been spreading the word about Thompson in my little 'realm'. But like Thompson's own campaign, it doesn't seem to be gaining any traction.
