Fred can win the south as soon as the media lets him speak.

The media gave him ample opportunity the last couple months. He has been on every show. Everytime you turn around Fred was trying to get his message across. Not sure what you mean. Do you think he has not been on the news more than other? I believe he has had the same if not more.

“Do you think he has not been on the news more than other? I believe he has had the same if not more.”

No, I think the news coverage REALLY hurt Thompson. Many stories lately have been about the “Top Three” candidates (McCain, Huck and Romney) with no mention of Thompson. There were also lots more fluff pieces on those candidates.

Thompson got comparatively little coverage, and a lot of that had a “look how bad he’s doing” slant. If all the media does is say a candidate is losing, it’s hard to change that momentum. Also, the constant trumpeting of polls hurts everyone but the frontrunner.

I don't know about news programs but he surely had ample time and tacit support on national radio talk shows and in some cases outright support. So much for the power of talk radio.

They did what they could to wan the morons about McCain and Brother love. But to no avail.
