wow, even the media is afraid of fred....

[IGOTMINE]

He got $500 from me the night his website went up...and not a dime since.

Get in, Fred, and my checkbook will open again.

[GingisK]

He isn’t doing too badly for someone who isn’t officially running.

[Ikemeister]

Fred has to jump in or out. He’s waiting too long to announce.

[MayflowerMadam]

He’s got to become an actual contender. I think we’ll see a big change then.

[3AngelaD]

Spencer Abraham should get right on that.

[Dreagon]

A lot of conservatives might be looking askance at his choice of new campaign managers.

[ridesthemiles]

When FRED formally announces, people will formally send in the bucks, I predict.

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

When Fred officially tosses his hat in the ring I will open my check book. Not before then.

[prairiebreeze]

NBC’s “sources”, eh?

uh-huh......

Cassandra would say that Fred Thompson is experiencing difficulty raising money not because he has failed to declare but because all Republicans are having immense difficulty raising money. Thompson will soon declare, there is no hurry for that, but I doubt if it will significantly change the financial landscape.

I understand that Republicans, even Romney, are gravely behind the Democrats not only in the amount of money collected but in the critical number of donors. We are losing the Internet wars for money to the likes of Obama who is running about four donors to every one for Romney. The disparity is even greater in the amount they contribute.

We had better hope that, with all the plagues and trials which are about to befall the Republican Party in this election season, we will not for the first time in modern memory fall behind the rats in raising money as well as in sheer numbers.

[Sue Perkick]

He’s going to be fine once he finally announces.

[Paperdoll]

There’s going to be a GOP debate on Sept. 5? I thought it was set for the 17th.

[saganite]

I’m a little frustrated with Fred myself. I plan to contribute to his campaign but not until he gets in the race. Hopefully he’ll announce soon. Get off the dime Fred!!!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I've been giving him $25 a paycheck, and will until the race is over.

I’d say the ‘sources’ are those released from the campaign. And given its not official yet, what exactly were the expectations, according to those still with Thompson’s campaign?

[no dems]

The big-money donors are probably waiting for Fred to announce. (Small amount donors as well, for that matter.)

[upchuck]

So far I’m in for a little because he’s done just a little. Once he announces, I’ll be in full boat. But not until then.

FDT seems like a hunting man... The leak to NBC could very well be a decoy...misinformation....get em blabbing....
