Long awaited hero?

The question that everyone seems to be asking is whether or not Fred Thompson is the long awaited hero of the Primary season. In past primaries the republican party has had strong front runners or a unified collalition backing a single candidate. This time it seems to be flip floped as the democrates have their two contenders as Obama and Clinton. The republicans need a unifying force and it appears that Fred Thompson will not be ray of light in the darkness that everyone had hoped for.

What seems to be hurting Thompson more than anything was the bar was set so high for him. HE may be doing well compared to other candidates but he could still loose if he does not meet expectations. That is how it works in the world of the national nomination. Candidates who win but win by slight margins when they were expected to have a landslide victory may find themselves without the party nomination in favor of a candidate they beat. Its the way things work and this may be the cause of Thompsons recent lack of support.

Ive been focosing on the major medias such as the Washington Post and the New York Times for most of my news. I'm going to start looking at a new age of media that is starting to emerge as a new twist on something old. I'm going to look at bloggers and other internet based reporting mediums to see what they have to say.
