Thompson and Hunter marginalized themselves. They operated poorly executed campaigns. Period.
Concur 100%.
I think there is a lot of truth in that and I'm a Fredhead. For my part I believed in what he was standing for so I overlooked his campaign style and hoped everyone else would too...but that's another story.
One of the problems is that people just didn't care about his message...I think the majority of Republican's aren't that much different from Democrats anymore - they want government to solve their problems. Plus, people have very short memories...9/11 and the threat of being blown up at work is fading into the mist as an issue.
And of course the media didn't want anything to do with Fred (and vice versa) or Duncan.
Mitt's my last hope. If he doesn't win I'm thinking that Argentina would be a nice place to hide out.
