Yes that is the normal experience. I don’t know many who have the opposite experience it is why everybody has Fred on their short list. I don’t know what it is that is keeping them from making that final plunge. The media are largely responsible for suppressing Fred’s support. They clearly don’t want him and would rather have Huck or Mitt for their Democrat candidate to run against. The establishment Republicans secretly want McCain or Romney. McCain is a long shot but they certainly don’t want Thompson who they don’t have in their hip pocket.
“they certainly don’t want Thompson who they don’t have in their hip pocket.”
This is why we need him.
“The establishment Republicans secretly want McCain or Romney.”
If by the ‘establishment’ you mean those who give big bucks..you are wrong. It’s Romney or Guiliani at this point.
