Who's sick of hearing about Fred Thompson!? ME! The actor turned possible savior that refuses to announce was trotting around in Iowa yesterday--albeit in Gucci loafers driving around on a golf cart--campaigning.. or MAYBE he was just there to look at sculptures of cows made out of butter. It amazes me. The Republican field is that weak that Fred Thompson, a man with a less than momentous career in the United States Senate, and actor, is being heralded as the future nominee and president of the United States of America! The man who has not even debated another candidate yet. The Gucci shoes are protecting his feet from the fire so far, but it will get increasingly tough for him to sway the nation. It appears that, for some reason, he already has conservatives crying for his name. Maybe they're tired of Rudy Guiliani's sudden conservative language. We remember history, Rudy. Maybe they're sick of defending the war. With John McCain, they kind of have to. Maybe they're looking for someone who didn't flip on abortion? Mitt Romney's Ken doll appearance isn't enough to let the voters forget his changing stances. Then again... where does Fred Thompson stand? Do the "Fredheads" care? So here we are. The state of the great campaign for President 2008. Hillary bouts it out with Barack--and is running away with the ball. And on the other side, disarray has led an entire political movement to fold their cards and hope that D.A. Arthur Branch gets into the ring. The Washington POST points out that it's only a few months until the campaign and that it could start getting very difficult for organization purposes. The FredHeads better get moving. Time is running out. Dalton/Thompson's Gucci shoes may start burning holes in the bottom.
