MSM wants Huckabee, a Bush religious look alike that can sustain hate-Bush momentum and be taken down in the general election.

Thompson, a concrete conservative capable of energizing a conservative country and beating any Democrat in the general election.

CN&N, the DNC’s marketing firm fraudulently posing as a journalistic enterprise, conducts a “poll” that supports their clients agenda.

I’m not sure the media has created this. He was getting virtually no press until he began polling well. I think the media is just reporting this one. Now it’s true that the media attention helps once that starts. But Huckabee’s campaign is what is making this happen. Politics is about seeing people, pressing the flesh, word of mouth, making speeches, being on the stump. It always has been, and it always will be.

Thompson, a concrete conservative capable of energizing a conservative country and beating any Democrat in the general election.

First he has to prove he can energize conservatives in his own party and beat a Republican.

I'm definitely pro Thompson but his quick descent from rock star savior of the party to near also-ran status is troubling. Fortunately, this race is up for grabs and fortunes can turn his way in a blink. Just hope he seizes the moment when it comes.

Thompson, a concrete conservative capable of energizing a conservative country... Let me know when he starts to "energize" the country. He hasn't shown me SQUAT! I've been supporting Huckabee from the beginning because he is a 100% straight, no nonsence, tell it like it is kind of guy. Thompson reeks of good-ol-boy politics. Frankly, I won't vote for Thompson. He should go ahead and step out of this race. He's losing badly anyway.

“MSM wants Huckabee, a Bush religious look alike that can sustain hate-Bush momentum and be taken down in the general election.”

You are right! Just this morning on Fox & Friends, they came back from a break with the words: “I am Mike Huckabee and you are watching Fox & Friends”. Wonder if FOX is going to do the same (being fair and balanced) for Guiliani, Romney, Thompson,Clinton, and Obama?? Bet not! GO FRED!

Based on almost every poll it looks like Fred is dead but we will see if the polls are right

I can hardly say that a “conservative” candidate that cannot remember any details about the Terri Shiavo case is worthy of our vote. And I fear that Fred does not have the energy or charisma to sell his otherwise good ideas.
