Thompson thinks he’s above the fray. Why should he bother when he has all these people absolutely crazy, and I do mean crazy, about him?

He’ll be in the fray in July, I betcha. I’m sure we both know or can reasonably assume it’s about the quarterly financial reporting issues due at the end of June. Just like his exploratory wasn’t formed until after his L&O contract and equal time issues were resolved. He’s moving forward at a quite steady pace. He just didn’t desperately jump in months earlier than normal like most everybody else has. It’s nice to see him remaining calm amongst the media hysteria over the entire race.

Thank you for your apparently required dose of ad hominem attacks on Thompson and his supporters.

Your gnattering makes Duncan look bad. He deserves better.

Thompson thinks he’s above the fray.

...because he has to wait to finish out other commitments before officially declaring?

P.S. This is not to mean that he isn't above the fray, BTW...

Thompson is a lot like Bush—similar accent, thin to non-existent record of accomplishment in government, good ol’ boy charm, not much substance, and no proven record of ability as a manager. One major difference though—Bush went from frat boy to grownup. Fred has done the reverse—gone from grownup to frat boy. He quit as a Senator, dumped his wife of seventeen years, went Hollywood and chased starlets, and married a trophy wife who looks to be half his age and whose main asset appears to be her willingess to expose an enormous cleavage.

The Democrats are already laughing about how they’re going to point to what one commentator referred to as Thompson’s “anonymous” Senate career. Was Reagan an “anonymous” governor of California? Have Tancredo or Hunter been anonymous representatives? Is Hillary an “anonymous” senator.

A Southern accent, a pickup truck, and no real record of accomplishment aren’t going to be good enough. We’ve seen what becomes of that.

FredHeads are deadheads.

“Thompson thinks he’s above the fray.”

It is not a question of thinking he is above the fray, but a matter of a potential candidate who FINALLY has the guts and brains not to let the media establishment run his campaign for him. This is shaping up to be a textbook campaign in which a conservative is able to bypass the MSM and take his message directly to the people. Such savvy will serve him well in using the Presidential bully pulpit should he get elected. He seems to be the only candidate of either party who fully understands that the information age is reshaping how Americans get their information. I find that aspect of his campaign fascinating

>>> Thompson thinks he’s above the fray. Why should he bother when he has all these people absolutely crazy, and I do mean crazy, about him?<<<

I don’t get the hysteria. He’s solid. That’s about all I can say. As a Tennesseean who voted for him and who was represented by him, I was reasonably pleased, though never overwhelmed.

This Tennesseean, however, is going to need more convincing if he’s going to leave Romney’s court. Until then, I’m pulling for the Yankee.

Typical response from a Hunter supporter...

Mad because Thompson is out-polling your candidate by 30 points and he isn’t even in the race yet... Let us know when you have some actual arguments against Thompson.
