Great Resource

I don't have any time to write anything down but here is a good resource provided by Fox news on the Presidential candidates.

I will review this material at a later date. I just wanted to get it up.

Draft Fred Thompson

While I was looking up these video clips i came across this video that if I were to guess Thompson's exploratory committee put out. all the candidates have one and this may be Thompson's.

Applause Please?

I had read in a newspaper that has a liberal reputation about how Fred Thompson had to ask for an applause. Here is a clip, mind you I have not listened to it yet that goes over this same subject.

Fundraising again

Fred Thompson has recently established a new "Tennessee finance leadership team". According to current reports Thompson has raised just north of 2.5 million dollars from Tennessee and his campaign believes this amount will continue to rise. Thompson has collected around 13 million dollars nationwide. The new team consists of

"Thompson’s fundraising team, announced Wednesday, includes an array of businessmen and Republican activists.

East Tennessee regional chairmen were listed as Mike and Kelly Conley of Knoxville, Jim Haslam II, Jim Powell, John “Thunder” Thornton and Steve West of Maryville.

Others on the list include two former Republican National Committee chairmen, Joe Rodgers and Mike Curb, both of Nashville, and former U.S. Rep. Van Hilleary of Murfreesboro."

It seems that Tennessee has a lot of money to offer and it would be wise to continue and watch it donate money to the various candidates.

National Polls

This is a collection of National Polls for the Republican Party. Not all of these polls are creditable but they do however give us a general sense of how the candidates are doing.
