Someone's afraid Fred will beat Hillary

What states that Kerry won (254 EV) can Thompson win?

Can he win Ohio?

That's all that matters. Everything else is hot air.

Yup. This is what happens when you let the MSM define who your frontrunners are. They post up their vision of the republican party. They’ve decided this is the year of the social barrier breakdown.

The first viable female candidate
The first viable black candidate
The first Italian-American cross-dressing, gun-grabbing NAMBLA-Parade walking socialist
The first mormon
The first certifiable nuts former POW RINO
The first certifiable nuts cut&run losertarian

Then the party added someone who had supposedly “good enough” conservative credentials but had been spending his time lately in Hollywood (hey, he had great name recognition as a result). Hey, he’s one of the media guys, right?

The MSM only has to ignore one candidate:
Why is that? Because he has no money. That’s right, he’s grassroots, all the way. The media is not gonna get a big chunk of change out of this candidate and they damn well know it. So they’ve blackballed him. They know what business they’re in. He’s a double target — they won’t make money from his campaign and they also dislike what he has to say.

How do we get the media to give a conservative Free Buzz? By pushing the media into such a liberal, slobbering frenzy that they forget themselves and go nuts, like Dan Rather did with Rathergate, and like the media did to Bill Sali, proposition 187 in California, and even Reagan. This principle only works when it’s a real rock-ribbed conservative. Did the media go nuts over how Bob Dole was too conservative? Nope. But at the same time they gave Buchanan a lot of free buzz, to the point that it hurt Dole, because Buchanan was too conservative, “the mainstream versus the extreme”.

I am not saying that he got into the process late. I am not saying he is doing a horrible job. What I am saying is that we would not be HOPING he gets the nomination, we would be saying he is the President of the United States had he simply entered the race on July 5th like everyone was hoping. I am not saying he didn’t have the right to enter when he wanted, but he immediately would have gained all that momentum and stayed there. We will find out one way or the other 5 February!!!

The democrats allies in the MSM, including Fox News, are attempting to split the conservative vote,

It is split!!! The conservative vote is 50/50 Duncan and Fred. If only the Fred supporters would come over to the Dunan supporters, we would have 100 percent!!!!

THOMPSON/HUNTER ticket for 08.

I would feel VERY comfortable with this. I think having a pro family values and military experienced candidate as Vice President would be a winner. Those are two of Fred’s biggest negatives and he could turn them into positives by having Duncan join!!!

Who in the hell says these candidates have these states when there hasn’t been one vote as of yet? It was all but assured that Howard Dean had it locked up but we saw how that turned up. And if I recall correctly, didn’t H.W. Bush win Iowa back in 80 and was talking about the big mo, and then Reagan cleaned his clock? The last several elections, everyone cites the poles, and then it turns out different. This time will be no exception.
