Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN) – 8% (20) Governor Mike Huckabee – 2% (4)]

If this is true, what do they have on Fred? Or does the Dems lack of interest in Thompson reflect his irrelevance?

More likely their fear of him. Kinda reminds me of the way they responded to Reagan actually. People with principles freak out 'Rats and RINOs.

Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) – 37% (99 press releases)
Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) – 28% (74)
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) – 24% (64)
Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN) – 8% (20) Governor Mike Huckabee – 2% (4)]

The lower number of DNC press releases on Fred doesn't necessarily reflect a lack of interest. When you consider the other candidates have been in the race twice as long as Fred, 20 press releases would be about average.

How long have each been campaigning vs the number of DNC press releases?
