Say what you will about McCain, that guy got in the race early and campaigned non-stop, even when he was pulling less than a percent. Fred Thompson waited too long to get in, and was not as relentless.
wrong... the media propped up McCain as they decided who they wanted to be the RNC front runner based on who they could beat with either Obama or Hilary. They saw Thompson as a threat and with his name recognition and his no holds barred type of demeanor, they knew he was their biggest threat, therefore label him as a loser that has no fire in his belly BS. They would and will do this to Palin if she gets it at this late date...
