I can remember posting with Shinerbock, I think it was, about how things would shake out, and I wasn't yet a Thompson fan, but I am now.

It's kind of odd when I talk to people about Fred, and I acknowledge that it's pretty narrow section of the electorate that I talk to about politics in RL, that most people I know who are likely to vote for a Republican like what Thompson seems to believe in but feel hesitant to vote for him because he's not already popular enough. This thinking seems bizarre to me at the start of primary season. I can understand feeling that way once you know he's lost a lot of delegates already, but not now when it's theoretically wide open.

I'm not even talking about making donations to his campaign; I just mean when I talk to people about who they might vote for and why.

I have to admit I like what Thompson has to say, but I've yet to see any action behind it. I feel he's an actor spouting lines the audience wants to hear. Wait .... oh.
