He’s right on most of the issues but he’ll have to show a lot more fire in the belly to win the nomination and general. We don’t need another uninspiring and non energetic candidate like Bob Dole.

“Saddle me up.”? That sounds like Bill Clinton’s Oval Office conversation.

Is this where we start using “dark horse pulling up along front runner” phrases? It worked for Huckabee. It’s our turn now. ;)

Thompson is battling for a third-place showing in Iowa...

NOPE! FRed will place a high second in Ia. Count on it, folks.

The only good thing that can be said about Thompson’s campaign right now is that it isn’t in the headlong dive for the bottom that it has been since he’s announced. He’s leveling out at the bottom, competing for last place with McCain (among frontrunners). The guy who is doing the tumbling in the polls right now is Giuliani.

“No candidate has gone on to become the nominee without placing in the top three in Iowa.”

How many candidates have placed 3rd and then gone on to win the race? I believe Bush II and Reagan both finished 3rd and won the White House.

C'mon Fred...pull out all the stops. Run like Hillary Clinton is chasing you for your body. You can sleep all day, January 4th, the day after the Caucuses.

RUN FRED; RUN!!!

Polls on the guy showing he is stagnant, rising or dead in the water?

I’d like to see him get it, but not so sure he has the traction starting for that yet.
