Has Fred Thompson Peaked too Early?

[Shaun @ Tru6]

With his current poll numbers, it's hard to believe Fred Thompson could pick up any more support in Iowa, NH and SC. But there's still over 3 weeks before the primaries, I'm wondering if he has peaked too early.

[M.D. Holloway]

He's just friggin lazy. Too busy drinking Scotch and bop'n his trophey wife - then again...maybe he has his priorities in line?

[MRM]

Afraid he has. Like the old joke says, he peaked the day before he announced. He never put a compelling reason forward to vote for him beyond his accent and ocupation. Voter-wise he holds most of the same positions as McCain and competes with him. The religious conservatives who were looking for the next Reagan cooled on him quickly and seemed to have settled on Huckabee. I don't see him getting his mojo back, but it's a long race and he came from way behind to win his first senate race.

his wife would be the hottest first lady...and i liked him in the first DIEHARD...

"rack em, stack em and pack em!"

Given where he is in the polls, it's hard to understand your question, "has he peaked too early?"

[lendaddy]

Shaun make funny.

Umm, ok.

But I think you need to add "tried to" somewhere in your sentence.

[ZOA NOM]

He'll be fine. The other Republican candidates aren't moderate enough to get the nomination. I think he'll take off once he floats Condi Rice as a potential running mate.

Fred was in #2, not in #1.

Was that the famous rib joint scene? I do love BBQ and Fred is the perfect guy for tending a pit fire.

Fred was in #2, not in #1.

+1...but he was good in "The Hunt for Red October", and "In the Line of Fire"

It really bothers me that he's not getting much press. I really don't care for any of the others.

Huck -Yea right, he hasn't a chance. Once some of his nuttier stuff goes primetime he's done.

Rudy - I don't know, maybe I guess. A compromise I won't lose sleep over but I'm not planting any yard signs.

Romney - The Republican John Kerry, as fake nd manufactured as Hillary's marriage

Paul - Beam me up Scotty.

[Chocaholic]

Lots of us had high hopes for Fred. He's been flat as a pancake since jumping in. Not sure I understand that kind of strategy. Perhaps he's brilliantly timing his rush to the top. But I doubt it.

The guy somehow is a poser, an empty suit. He is going nowhere. No energy.

That's just it though, he's doing anything but posing.

He's the emptiest of suits. Although I suspect they are really expensive suits. He was lobbying for abortion rights when the check is big enough and denying it later when people might pay attention. No worries. It's all about the paycheck.

Only Ron Paul makes a lick of sense on the R side, and the entrenched interests won't let him have any of the spotlight.

Why is the Right Wing Media not giving him any time? Fox makes fun of him in interviews, Jay S. could not care less, not heard anything from O...

RWM dwarfs mainstream media these days. what are they saying about Fred?

Has he done anything to warrant coverage?

That's twisting the facts, he never lobbied he consulted. He ran a firm and they came as clients, it was not a personal act.

If Paul were even silent on the war you'd call him a kook.

Huh?


Regarding why he's not getting any press, I don't know exactly. There are many games at play.
