In East Texas we have a saying about “experts”.

X is the unknown and spurt is a drip under pressure.

I figgered that’d happen if he announced, he’d bounce into the lead within a week. If you couple that with a strong debate performance coming up, within a week after that he’ll be rolling in the poll numbers AND the contributions.

it was brilliantly ‘late’ and saved him a fortune. Everyone else was way too early.

Fred Thompson might have waited too long to enter the Republican fray for president, political experts and party officials say.

BS! There isn't going to be a vote cast for four months. How can FDT be too late?

Thats right IMO, it’s up to him to run when he feels like it, or his strategy dictates. Let the ppl decide if he was too late. LOL
The mainstream media comments on Fred are meant for the ‘non-informed’.

What I’d like to know about Fred is this. Check out Dick Morris’s latest article on him. He claims Fred is attracting countless lobbyists for support, and that he was a lobbyist for 20 years. Morris is saying this is who his loyalty will be for, less for the ppl.

Still have to learn more before I believe that, but something to keep an eye on.

This whole 08 election mess reminds me of WalMart putting out Christmas stuff before Halloween.

Why rush the freaking season?

I like several of the potential candidates, and particular kudos to Thompson for waiting a bit. Let’s see what happens over the winter, before we start getting hysterical.

Now I feel like I am sitting at someone else’s favorite restaurant, but not really mine.

The places are set and the food is on the table. I am sure I will have my fill, but it just does not satisfy.

Personally, I think everyone else got in TOO EARLY.

Amen to that. It's still way too early.

" Everyone else was way too early " but they spent and wasted their money and got to stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

“I take it this newspaper didn’t see today’s Gallup and Rasmussen polls: Fred Thompson now leads the republican field.”

I think its wishful thinking on the part of Rudy lovers in the press.
