BOWLING GREEN - Fresh from starring as Ulysses Grant in the HBO film Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Fred Thompson won an early audition for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination yesterday.
At the annual Lincoln-Hayes Banquet hosted by Ohio Congressman Paul Gillmor, the former Tennessee senator captured 32.5 percent of the 166 votes cast in a straw poll. Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney tied for second in the poll with 18.1 percent. Arizona Sen. John McCain received 11.4 percent.

I can’t imagine Ohio going back to it’s Red State status- but if anyone can make a dent- it’s going to be Fred.
Bah! Straw polls mean nothing. Fred is too lazy to even sip a drink through a straw, much less win a straw poll.
You do realize that an overwhelming 76.5 percent of the Republicans at that poll voted AGAINST Fred Thompson! This is proof that his phony ‘campaign’ will go nowhere and proof that he’s old enough to be his wife’s great uncle’s cousin twice removed!
When are you FRedheads going to wake up and realize that Fred is two steps away from being buried in dirt that is younger than he is???

This is much more amusing than arguing with them.
You know, I actually started blasting you before I really realized who actually posted this.
My veins were starting to bulge. Are you trying to kill me? :p
LOL...sorry! :)
What do you mean? It still has Red State Status.
Well according to DUmmies that is only because of Rove's wonderful voting machines.
