“COUNTRY FIRST” is the theme, appropriately enough, of this week’s Republican National Convention taking place at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn. Images like the one shown above will be buttressed by stories about John McCain‘s heroic service to his country and testimonials delivered by people who know him well — people like [...]

Fred Thompson Drops Out of Race
January 22nd, 2008 · No Comments
It comes as no surprise that Republican Fred Thompson has dropped out of the 2008 presidential race. When I visited the Fred08.com web site a short while ago and saw a typo-filled message — “The Fred File feed is currently unavailable. Thank your for your patience.” — I suspected an announcement might be forthcoming and [...]

Has Thompson Failed at Ballot Box Office?
January 3rd, 2008 · No Comments
In a post Nov. 26, I compared the presidential campaign of Republican Fred Thompson to Brian De Palma’s box office-flopping anti-war film, Redacted. Following a report at The Politico late last night, I decided to revisit that comparison and ask the question, “Has Fred Thompson failed at the ‘ballot’ box office?” In case you missed [...]

Sites Match Voters With Presidential Candidates
November 15th, 2007 · 1 Comment
There seems to be no shortage of web sites offering to help voters determine which presidential candidate best matches their beliefs. Though I question the accuracy of their approaches, I think they’re harmless and, thereby, worth checking out. Eight days ago, I published a post about my experience with the USA TODAY version of this [...]

Video Addresses Phone Calls and Trophy Wives
November 15th, 2007 · No Comments
Travis and Jonathan at Red State Update offer a humorous video that combines Rudy Giuliani‘s gag of taking phone calls while giving campaign speeches with popular culture buzz about Fred Thompson‘s wife Jeri being labeled a “trophy wife.” Give it a look. It’s funny.

NRLC Endorsement of Thompson ‘Makes No Sense’
November 14th, 2007 · No Comments
Yesterday, I ended a post about National Right to Life’s unusual endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson by writing “…the group’s endorsement of Thompson over, let’s say, Mike Huckabee, leaves me shaking my head.” Apparently, I’m not the only one who thought the transaction strange. The Washington Times’ Ralph Z. Hallow revealed as much [...]

Huckabee Site Traffic Beats Giuliani, Romney
October 10th, 2007 · 4 Comments
Hitwise.com, an outfit that tracks and measures web site traffic, kept tabs on site traffic at the websites of 2008 Republican presidential candidates last week. They found results that might surprise everyone except the candidates themselves. Most noteworthy among their findings was the fact that Mike Huckabee, a so-called second-tier candidate, finished more than five [...]
