If Fred inspires people that title ads "Vote Fred Thompson -- Unless you hate children and puppies," I think I'll find someone else to vote for.

In order to help inspire people to help Fred out, I've put together a new video called, "Vote Fred Thompson -- Unless you hate children and puppies." I think you will enjoy it -- well, unless you hate children and puppies...

It's a great ad. Too bad it couldn't find it's way on the air...
I hate children and puppies and I am still voting Fred.
I despise liberals ... especially those disquised as conservatives ... so I am voting for Fred
Although I won’t go so far as to say I hate children, I don’t want any. But I do hate cats.
I’m for Fred all the way.
I hate chitlins (they’re offal) and poppies. Who do I vote for?

Go FRED!!!!
So consider me to hate children and puppies, because I’m voting for Duncan Hunter.
Just sent Fred another $50.
I would, however, ask you to consider if "years" are the only thing you're wasting at this point. As I've pointed out before, Duncan Hunter is undoubtedly a fine man and a true conservative. I only wish he had "caught on". But as my hubby always says, "wish in one hand and spit in the other and see which hand is holding more"
One out of two isn’t bad. I love Puppies.
Oh my my! How can we get this to run during a game this weekend in Iowa??
Can you tell I love children, puppies, AND Fred??
FRed also needs to raise a lot of money still for his Red Truck fund raiser that ends in SIX HOURS!!! He needs 63 thousand dollars!
He waited and waited to declare his candidacy. He apparently believed that poll numbers would determine the victors in the primaries. Historically that has never been the case in contested primary elections for president. It will not be the case in this years primaries either.
The turnouts in primary elections are quite small compared to general elections. Usually in the neighborhood of about half the voters. In many primaries the turn out may be as low as 25 percent or even less. It is always the case.
With low turn outs the support of the active party members becomes very important. By that I mean the people who turn out for Party meetings and volunteer to go door to door and man phone banks in every election. Most party officials and experienced volunteers are active because it gives them access, influence and sometimes jobs in the administration of a successful candidate. And the sooner they get on a successful candidates bandwagon the more influence they possess.
Thus Fred took a look at Iowa and New Hampshire and decided to wait .. to wait as long as his poll numbers were great. During that time Romney, and other candidates were lining up local professionals to become a part of their team.
By the time Fred got off his rump, all the professional and experienced party professionals were committed to other canidates. Fred dropped inthe polls as the media lost its loving touch for Fred. At that point it became obvious that Fred was a dead duck.
There are people in nearly every precinct in the battle ground states who can generate a hundred votes for the candidate they support. As a result the media and its coverage is at best a minor factor in contested primary elections if one or two candidates have the experienced volunteers on their team. The more people in the race the more important the local professionals become.
Fred obviously did not understand what it takes to win the primaries and is at best a second or third tier candidate. Fred may be right on the issuse but candidates who do not bother to learn what it takes to win primary elections are not likely to take the time to figure out how to beat Democrats at anything Democrats want to do.
Really? He has King and his organization which is arguably the king of elections there. I’d say his organization is in much better shape then say Huckabee or Guiliani. Certainly, Romney is in good shape, but I think Fred will surprise.
What a bummer it must be to have no sense of humor!
