One commenter at the previous link wrote, “I would consider voting for Fred just for the entertainment value of watching him spend four years slapping around the drooling half-wits in the MSM.”

I am voting for Fred Thompson. I could hardly wait for him to announce but I realize Fred has a well thought out plan so its been worth the wait. Now I just want to see him elected I have a feeling he will be slapping a lot of people around. Fred pulls no punches. GO FRED GO!

Just look at where media money comes from. It comes from sponsors and many of those sponsors are the same companies that want illegal aliens.

On immigration, Hunter’s criticism of Thompson over this issue is well aimed. We need someone in the white house who isn’t a johnny-come-lately on this issue.

Moving into New Hampshire, the only republicans who have more delegates than Duncan Hunter are Romney and Thompson. No delegates were actually selected in Iowa.

The New Hampshire GOP withdrew its sponsorship of yesterday’s debate.

According to this article, there were no delegates selected in Iowa.

First G.O.P. Delegate Goes to Romney (Romney, Hunter Leading in WY)
New York Times ^ | January 5, 2008 | MEAD GRUVER
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/05/us/politics/05cnd-wyoming.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1199563235-58hBRHoYXSVDHcyr25G/Fw&oref=slogin

“Wyoming chose the first 12 delegates of 2008 at 12 separate county conventions. Iowa Republicans, who have 40 delegates, conducted a straw poll but elected no convention delegates Thursday.”

So, that means that Romney has the most delegates (8), Fred has 3 and Hunter has 1, going into New Hampshire. I see now that Hunter was wise not to campaign in Iowa, and where he did choose to campaign he drew blood. You get more bang for the buck with Hunter.

The fact that he’s being excluded from New Hampshire debates is probably a historical first. This is a conservative website and Hunter is a conservative candidate. The GOP is late in waking up to the fact that the media hates conservatives.

Basically, it’s a wide open race, with the lead changing on a weekly basis. Might as well support the truest conservative, Hunter.

Based on what I've been able to figure out about delegate pledges, that isn't really accurate.

IA does not actually assign delegates until May; but if you look at the proportional disposition of both WY and IA, it is

Mitt 17

Huck 13

Fred 8

McCain 5

Paul 4

Guliani 1

Undeclared/unknown 5

Note also that both WY and FL lost half their delegates because they moved their primaries up.

So the lesson there is not, you know, politicians being politicians. The lesson there is that the news media really ought to check these stories out and come to me, and ask me, and take my word for it.

Nah, the MSM wouldn't do that; it would be too much like WORK!
