completely missed the memo...
the more they cast aspersions, the more interesting he'll be.
Gosh, that really narrows it down... And he gets PAID for saying things like that? To paraphrase Homer Simpson, is there anything a polysci consultant DOESN'T know?
For the record Slate, starting the Presidential Campaign eighteen months before the general election is a asinine idea.
Then again, maybe Fred had a political coup.
Dollars to donuts a year from now Fred will be a household name and the guy who wrote this piece will be flipping burgers at Mickey D’s!
Nonsense. Too early, maybe.
There is an excruciatingly long time left.
Yep, Fred waited so long he’s only tied with rudy without spending much time or money at all.
Yup, people wouldve supported Fred if he would’ve done the official announcement a couple weeks ago, but this is just too far.
hahahahaha yeah right.
The old sage Fred said it himself. (paraphrasing) It looks like Thompson is the best man for the job, too bad he got in too late.
Actually Giuliani leads the gallup poll by 12 and the NYT/CBS poll out today by 5. thompson is up by 4 in the Rasmussen poll.
Do you have links on the polls?
The press likes to call the shots and make or break the candidates.
Fred’s not playing by their rules, and they don’t like it.
But as far as I can tell, no one has cast a vote in the primaries yet, so it’s doubtful that Fred “entered too late.”
Two weeks ago, “undecided” was leading the GOP field.
And not coincidentally, Fred was the undecided candidate.
Now that he’s in, Fred is leading the field.
Just who exactly do these “experts” think is going to win the nomination instead?
It seems to me that the media and the so-called “experts” want Giuliani to win.
The only argument against Fred they can muster is that “he waited too long.” Too long because they already declared Rudy the winner, and they’re not about to let anyone come along and prove them wrong.
This is the first I’ve heard of an arbitrary cut off date after which nothing else counts.
It sort of reminds me of the way the Democrats run the vote in the House.
Thompson always said that the traditional date for starting a presidential campaign was AFTER labor day, and that campaigns are too damned long.
He said it.
He meant it.
He lived up to it.
Now STFU.
Personally, I think everyone else got in TOO EARLY. It’s a hell of a long time until election day. Only the pot smoking DemocRATS think it’s election day when they get up in the morning.
Exactly. Less time and growing more excruciating by the minute.
So much for their “political experts.”
What did the “experts” say about Ronald Reagan?
The “experts” aren’t running. Fred Thompson is.
It is hillaryarious!
The leader in the polls did something wrong to get there!
