would also be known as "fair weather fans".

So, you think it actually makes sense to complain about low contributions for a candidate when the candidate isn't running for office? That is nonsense.

I like Fred, and think he is the best candidate. If he doesn't run, he won't get elected. If he can't figure out if he will run, then he is a Ross Perot look-alike.

He looks pretty wishy-washy at the moment. Only he can clear that up. I won't contribute to a non-running candidate any more that you would to my campaign. (I'm not running either, so it doesn't surprise me that my election fund is still empty.)

lol!

Astounding numbers!!

Rasmussen - Election 2008: Clinton Virtually Tied with GOP Frontrunners Giuliani, Thompson

Survey of 839 Likely Voters
July 30-31, 2007

Rudy Giuliani (R) vs. Hillary Clinton (D)
Rudy Giuliani (R)46%
Hillary Clinton (D)45%


Fred Thompson (R) vs.Hillary Clinton (D)
Fred Thompson (R)46%
Hillary Clinton (D)45%


Maybe Scott Rasmussen is a closet freeper who is deliberately distorting the numbers for all the fredheads at FR...

As soon as he declares, there’s a check coming from me...and I suspect, many others at the grass roots as well.

Fred needs to get in or out...now.

Dude, he's IN. Don't you get it? You are witnessing the future of political campaigning. 20 years from now you'll tell your grandkids that you were a part of this!

Can you post the link to where anyone in an official capacity, representing FRed Thompson, or his campaign, set a “goal” of 5 million?

BTW, How much did Hunter raise in his first month? Last reporting cycle?
