Fred Thompson's campaign is breaking my heart...or more to the point, the media's ignoring of it is. He continues to say what needs to be said to the Republican party, and to his opponents he has become the elder statesman who slaps down t...

While bored one evening, I wound up on YouTube and was searching for something interesting to watch and came across a video someone made about Shubuta, Mississippi, a small town in southeastern Mississippi that I fondly remember. My Daddy grew up there...

The latest PhotoHunt category from tnchick.com is “Skinny” which can be interpreted as one sees fit. This week, I am featuring myself. Although I don’t qualify as “skinny” per se, I do qualify as skinnier. Let me explain.

There is too much code that goes into doing this. I started at 7pm to put this up, but there were a couple of changes I wanted to make. Now it is 7:41 pm! lol. Continuing on, tonight is our Friday Nite Open Trackback Alliance and our Open Trackba ........

Thanks to The Captain’s Quarters, I found the following video that is quite relevant today especially with extremists trying to pit American against American through intolerance, bigotry, class warfare and other insidious methods. Take some time to w...

Except for the desire to institute barbaric, primitive, savage, medieval, totalitarian, theocratic law in the United States, Europe and the rest of the world, beside these minor differences, Islam is just like any other religion....

Fred has one advantage that I don't think any of the other candidates has, namely that he doesn't have an important part of the GOP big tent who really doesn't like him. He also doesn't have an important part of the GOP big tent that just can't live without him. If he can survive long enough to get it down to a two man race, he might be able to turn all of that to his advantage.

Very true. It amazes me that the Republicans actually have a horse race for their primary for once and it turns out that everyone in the first tier has a segment of the base that refuses to consider them. Given their usual unification (and usual appointed successor) this is just amazing.

(I am not counting Fred here as first tier, if he gets better than third in SC we'll talk)

It seems much more likely that his blows will wake Southerners up to the fact that Huckabee is indeed a social and fiscal liberal and thus help McCain.

Another possibility is that Thompson increases his viability which takes voters away from McCain- making it more likely Huckabee wins. This is one hell of a dynamic campaign.

AND just why do you think the blogosphere is "enamored" with Fred while the general population is just playing catch-up Jimmy?? Because WE research, we study the issues and we study the candidates...well, most of us, eh Jim?

So I suppose the *overwhelming* ron paul support online means that he's the best option for those who research, study the issues and study the candidates?

Or maybe in both cases it has to do with the online community being very different demographically than the rest of America.
