Sweeping up after

It remains to be seen whether Fred Thompson's NH vote total can score more votes than this blog has gotten hits. So far, he's not winning. On the plus side, he placed second in Wyoming, a Red State, though Romney walloped him by nearly 40%.*

One reason why he performed badly, is that he did start way too late to become familiar in a crowded (R) field. Second, he said so many times that he did not want to run or really become President that the voters finally said, 'O.K., we believe you.' They pulled the lever to vote for others. Third, he is not a maverick or kook like all others in (R) field, excluding Romney, so Thompson is more normal, which doesn't appeal to the NH voters. Fourth, his flip-flopping on abortion did not help. Fifth, his hot wife is matched by John McCain's, so that negates the 'chick' factor.

*Odd how the Dinosaur Media made no bones about the Wyoming race. Of course, B. Hussein Obama was not running, nor Hillary Rohdam. They figured that it was just a vote in flyover country. Better wishes for Fred in SoCo

My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger. We made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all. -- Ronald Regan Farewell Address--
