Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson, a former Tennessee senator, listens to questions during a round table discussion with members of the media in Franklin, Tenn., Thursday, Sept. 27, 2007. (AP Photo/John Russell)
(1)What's with the red tint on the photograph? AP manipulation?
(2)"The expectation level for everything we've done has been ridiculously and artificially high," Thompson communications director Todd Harris said. "Everything that we do is being judged through this ridiculously inside-the-Beltway prism ... I think it's more than a little unfair."
This sounds very wimpy.

I wouldn’t take CBS News seriously on any topic, let alone one thats a) Entirely political in nature and...b) one thats about a Republican.
Given he just entered the race the first week of September, and its third quarter reporting, I don’t see how it will be a viable way to gauge Thompson’s run.
End of the fourth quarter...then you can do this.
but not now, as CBS is trying to do.

Well, I hope Fred knows he won’t be able to get any money from anyone in Hollyweird.
Well, maybe Tom Selleck.

His numbers for the third quarter are totally meaningless anyway since he came in at the tail end and it takes a little while to really “ramp up”. Let’s see what they are at the end of the FOURTH quarter.

Another example of the photograph, with more pixels, doesn't look as unnatural:

How about this scale. Those who want America to be the world’s policeman and economic supporter will not support a conservative who puts American citizens first. We’ll see how ca$h he raises from special interests and we will know who he is indebted to. If this wasn’t true a batsh’t crazy, wife cheating liar would be broke instead of leading the GOP pack.

Who cares what Fred raises in a quarter in which he wasn’t officially running. The media is just hoping to set up Fred for a ‘failure’. Fred will raise plenty of money now that he has officially entered the race.
To: Plutarch
lets see, the Dinosaur Media is rating Thompson’s success based on the amount of ADVERTISING DOLLARS which might be spent on the Dinosaur Media.
Are they evaluating a candidate or a sales rep.
