Always the same reguritated nonsense about "enthusiasm waned", Jeri Thomson, "fundraising hit a wall" and all that rot. Are all reporters lazy?

“I’m (puff, puff) Mitt Romney. And I approved of this (pant!) message.”

Working out isn’t going to prevent a relapse of his cancer sorry to say.

I read that Newsweek article that you posted yesterday, for me the real value in the article was the long description of his youth and his pre politics life.

I’m a southerner, I know southerners and their “laid back” style, any one that thinks that Fred Thompson doesn’t have an internal, success drive as big as anyone in the race, is making a mistake.

I suggest that people that are trying to look into the inner man read that article, and they will see that Thompson’s good old boy style, hides a record of a man that seems to get what he wants, no matter what new challenge he decides to take on, and he makes it look like he just fell in to it, ( which is a very typically southern thing, “never let them see you sweat”).

He will have the cancer for the rest of his life. As I understand, it is non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, incurable but manageable. Fortunately for Mr. Thompson, it is a relatively indolent cancer.

What concerns me more than the cancer itself is its and its ongoing treatments' effects on his energy levels.

Well, good grief, aren't you feisty tonight? Who tinkled in your Post Toasties?

Maybe you're upset that Duncan Hunter's own campaign communications director says Duncan has no chance of winning the nomination??

Buck up little camper. Turn that frown upside down! Before you know it, there will be another election in which you can support another vanity candidate.

Indolent being a very relative term when it comes to things like this...carrying with it a significant risk of relapse and death instead of a certain risk of relapse and death.

I’m not the one trying to get a cancer patient elected.

Yes, why should we listen to Fred's doctors when we have a reliable source with no axe to grind like old_mil?

I see now the error of my ways. Fred Thompson never was a proper candidate for president. He's far too old and frail. He has a trophy wife and he has old man stink.

That's why I'm throwing my support behind the only true conservative in this race! John Cox!

John Cox is the only one who can beat Hillary. If you don't support him, it's your fault that Hillary gets elected. Also, if you don't support him, you hang out in bathrooms with Larry Craig.

What a low blow. You must be proud of yourself.

Inconvenient realities don’t constitute low blows.

Perhaps not, but you sure are desperate. It’s amusing actually.

It doesn’t matter to me, I’m supporting Hunter, who is stronger than FT on immigration, on American sovereignty, and on life, and who actually served. He’s also more personable, yet at the same time serious, and doesn’t put people to sleep when he speaks. He is the perfect conservative candidate.

No, from a health standpoint the last thing FT needs is the stress of a run for the White House. Surely, there are a few that care about him enough to see this. Would we run Arlen Specter, politics notwithstanding?

Appears ol' Dunc suffers from a terminal case of 2nd tierism. Unfortunately there is no treatment for his malady unlike non-hodgkins lymphoma.

wow...that is about as negative as you can get. How many people in this country have been cured of cancer and never had it come back again? I am sure the number is very big.

By the time Thompson was lolling around the Iowa State Fair last month, wearing Gucci loafers on a golf cart instead of going on a walkabout like every other candidate...

Mitt Romney Pigs Out at Iowa State Fair

Romney chats amiably with the people in line and then leaves in a golf cart to go to his next event.

He hasn’t had any symptoms and didn’t miss a day of work during his treatment.

He is now in remission and is having no treatments.

Hunter can’t seem to show up for work, but keeps taking a paycheck. That’s really honest.
