Ken was in such a hurry to get this out, he failed to edit adequately. Good, sound thinking though.

[Petronski]

Because he just won the first full debate?

[byteback]

Fred needs ENERGY! He also needs to get out of Senate debate mode and act Presidential. I didn’t like his answer that he would need Nancy and Harry’s approval to bomb Iran’s nuke facilities.The Senate is a debating society but a President must act from a position of power.

[kbennkc]

How can we take this writer seriously when he says the blue-blood G.W.Bush has ever had brownstuff on the “outside” of the boots . She also needs a color chart for bovine and equine scatology . Yes I know my $h!+ .

[linn37]

He has a chance because although the other two top tier candidates are likable men. They are’nt conservatives.

[montag813]

Just the fact that 99% of the MSM’s attention tonight is on “How did Fred do?” shows he has more than a “chance” in this fight.

[stevem]

Fred Thompson has an opportunity to sell conservatism back to the public, the voters are demanding accountability.

I think if Thompson can sell these wares with a sense of optimism for the country, he will do just fine. I am a tiny cog in the Republican works in my city, and I can tell you people I meet (not necessarily party people, but the great unwashed - party people don't care who gets the nod; anyone with literature for drops will do) are desperate for such a person to move ahead in this campaign.

What the mainstream media is peddling isn’t what the public wants and as we come closer to the elections will demand more than empty rhetoric.

I believe the MSM looks at Thompson with trepidation. I believe that is why these people are doing anything they can to derail him.

"Jeri Thompson is about half country herself - she comes from Naperville, Illinois, that's not shanty town but it's a way down the road from affluent Park Ridge where Hillary comes from."

Well, kiss my grits, pal. Nice attempt to make Jeri look kinda like a hillbilly-ette from Hog Hollow, Naperville compared to Her Heinous who sprang from "exclusive" Park Ridge.

When I do my snow-birding from Florida, I live two towns over from Naperville ( a far west suburb of Chicago ). It's a sophisticated MIDDLE-WEST city of almost 100,000 strongly conservative, educated, work-ethic Republican souls.

It's been one of the fastest growing cities in Illinois.....home to stately houses, estates and parks, colleges, high-tech clean industry, a superior primary and secondary school system, home to countless Chicago business execs and millionaires, and real estate taxes not too many of us peasants could afford.

Hillary's town of Park Ridge has lovely areas, but doesn't come close to Naperville as an all-American city aspirant.

The per capita income in Hillaryville is $36,646.

In Jeri Thompson's Naperville the per capita income is $39,725.

Do reporters do ANY fact-checking any more, or do they just grab things out of the air to be cute or to make someone look tainted (like being a half-hick).

Don't worry, I know the answer to my rhetorical question. We all do).

I’d like to see a daily YouTube address from Fred, sort of a video version of Rush Limbaugh’s Morning Update.

If he runs out of material, he can always check out Fred Republic. Er, I mean, Free Republic.

[no dems]

I agree with your analysis. However......

When "W" ran in 2000, there was no incumbent of his party in office spending billions of dollars, in an unpopular war. Also, George W. Bush was not running on a ticket of the party that had become the party of corruption, pedophilia, and big-spending.

I'm not even sure that Ronnie Reagan could raise from the dead and win on the GOP ticket in '08. As my granny would say, the GOP has gotten itself in a "mell of a hess".

[perfect_rovian_storm]

If you guys haven’t seen it, you HAVE to read the ‘live blogging’ of the debate on Fred’s blog!!! It’s awesome.

The formatting is a bit odd, so I don’t know how well it would post here, but people should read it. It rips Rudy and Romney’s records to shreds.

“Jeri Thompson is about half country herself, she comes from Naperville, Illinois, that’s not shanty town but it’s a ways down the road from affluent Park Ridge where Hillary comes from.”

Geez, whoever wrote this doesn’t know Illinois and specifically doesn’t know Naperville. I live two towns over from Naperville. It is a huge town, I believe it is now third or fourth largest in size in Illinois population-wise. I lived in Naperville for a while in one of my previous incarnations. What a charming place to be. It has the double pleasure of being a quaint historical town founded in the mid-1830’s along the DuPage River in rich fertile soil (Illinois has the most beautiful black earth, but I digress), with lovely trees and a wonderful location (about 35 miles west of Chicago). Along what is known as the highway I-88 corridor, one high tech business after another has sprung up. The town grew by leaps and bounds, and is chock full of wealthy entrepreneurs as well as lots of middle class families, and tons of kids. The school system is excellent, the tax base great (an artsy craftsy downtown area with lots of little shops and many restaurants), and a beautiful riverwalk. In comparison, Park Ridge is a well healed but rather bland and gray town with 1/2 the charm of Naperville. But to make Jeri out as being some kind of hick from the sticks is a baldface lie of the first order. Anyone who wants to check out Naperville, go to its website and see for yourself:

America is at a cross roads between a socialist oriented society and containing down the road of capitalism and free enterprise.

Basically we either defeat socialism in the election or arm for civil war.
