Who cares?

Go Fred go!

The Draft Fred Thompson 2008 Committee being chaired by Congressman Duncan and Congressman Wamp launched a new website early today with a great deal of information and the official petition seeking to draft Fred. The address is http://www.fred08.com. The site encourages everyone interested in seeing Fred pursue the GOP nomination to fill out the petition.

the writer of this article has it all wrong. not being well know with the voting public and being able to define yourself as you would like the voting public to know you is an asset NOTa libility

I think the comparison to Obama is fair in terms of having the potential to ramp up quickly.

I won’t vote for him myself, but I hope he runs.

If you mean, and the pollster means by “general voters” Democrats and Independents, in most states they cannot vote in GOP primaries. Only likely primary voters count at the ballot box, so it’s a bit odd to be citing these “general voters” who somehow don’t know him as supposed “bad news.” But nice try! Looking for clouds in silver linings is a very “moderate” thing to do, especially when it comes to the threat of a true conservative like Fred T. getting into the race!

Being unknown is an advantage in a race in which 40% of the American people say that they will not, under any circumstances, vote for Hillary. It is also an asset. frankly, to have been out of sight during the Bush administration. If not for the rock star media he’s received (very little of it substantial), Barak Obama- who has less experience in national government than Senate Watergate Committee counsel and U.S. Senator Thompson- is just as unknown. And how well known was Bill Clinton at this point in 1991? Jimmy Carter in 1979?

Right now Thompson is running neck and neck with Hillary. For a candidate who hasn’t even announced, has no organization or budget, and is as unknown as you point out that he is with the electorate, that says something, nicht wahr? Thompson is the candidate the Democrats have the most reason to fear. And when you take away your liberal spin, the fact is that his present numbers with the general electorate as an unknown are quite ominous for the Democrats. When the voters do get to know Thompson (hard to be nominated by a major party, or even to be a major contender later in the race for the nomination, without becoming known), this very impressive man is going to give you guys on the Left nightmares for eight years.

If this speculative juggernaut continues, pretty soon the name and the “face” will be plastered over all media sources.

I suspect the “face” will improve the recognition stats considerably.

I’m sure I could find a poll in the not too distant past when the same non-recognition stats applied to Barack Obama. And they probably still apply to Richardson, Kucinich and Dodd.

If this is the biggest piece of bad news Rasmussen can come up with for Thompson……….

Fred has not even formed an exploritory committee, and yet he is hurting the “First Tier” candidates. There is clearly an opportunity for someone to ignite the base of the GOP. He is the only one of those being talked about that seems to ignite the passion in the base. Listen to some the the videos I have found on AnotherRonaldReagan.com. America, watch and learn about Fred.
