“The strange part is that when he officially entered the race he was in 2nd place nationally, and was polling pretty well. I think the problem was that he started pretty casually, and didn’t seem to ramp up till a couple of weeks before IA. when the polls showed him slipping. It went downhill fast from there.”
No, what happened is the media started pushing Huckabee, and once that happened, Fred’s numbers started dropping and Huckster’s started rising. I think that definitely hurt Fred.

Yes. Shameful that Huck got all that attention, when he’s clearly a) too liberal b) not too bright and c) unelectable. Fred Thompson outshines him in every way except he doesn’t wrap himself in the Bible.
I’d be very curious to know what Huck’s SAT scores were... ;-)
