I'm having
deja vu all over again. I realize this article has today as its published date, but I swear I've already read it, maybe two days ago?!?!
In any case Rooty better worry. In fact he should go shopping for some new dresses to ease his nerves.
Oh Darn It Frances.
A Real Man Is In The Race.

"But to many Republicans right now, Thompson remains a question mark. He generated enormous excitement when he said he might run in March, only to see that dissipate as he repeatedly put off his announcement."
I just don't see that playing out locally...
Looks like my County pretty well shows support for Fred!
Poll last week for Sussex County, Delaware:
Fred Thompson 48%
Rudy Giuliani 14%
Mitt Romney 10%
Mike Huckabee 7%
