Fred should be his own man. He knows the Press are going to try to destroy him. He shouldn’t rush to a public beating. He will address the Press soon enough. Putting the people first is a much better tactic. I do think he will have to eventually cast caution into the wind and just get out there and fight with the barbarians.

Something that a lot of people don’t know, is that in electoral politics, Fred is known as a brilliant campaigner.

Twice he won elections by huge margins, the first one was for Al Gore’s seat when he came from 20 behind, to a 20 plus victory, his reelection to that Senate seat was even larger.

He is famous for running his own campaign, I think that Fred is playing this out at a pace that fits the race’s distance.

He is not saturating the market all at once, but trying to feed the grassroots first to continue the bottom up momentum, he then reinforces that energy when he starts with the heavy Fred guns, at the top.

Contrast that with the one election, one term Gov. that is doing everything that seems right on the surface, but is riding on hollow underpinnings.
