The Thompson effort

Fred Thompson Fighting Hard

In accordance with his all or nothing campaign as previously mentioned by Scott, Mr. Thompson has been relentlessly attacking the other GOP candidates and pulling strings with his own campaign. So far in numbers for the Iowa caucus Thompson is in the support deficit, trailing Huckabee and Romney. All the while, Right to Life sponsored Thompson continues to attack both Romney on his position on abortion/ tax policy and dismiss Huckabee completely. And while Thompson is on the aggressive, the Democrats are trying to steer clear of any dirty campaign dancing, as seen with the recent resignation of the Clinton campaign advisor. In Iowa, the ‘good’ state, negative and aggressive campaigns have proven to be detrimental to one’s own campaign but Thompson needs support and he needs to clarify his position as the “clear conservative choice. Hands down!”. Thompson recently criticized Huckabee on “Face the Nation,”; “Liberal is the only word that comes to mind.”. Yet Thompson remains low in numbers and in support. After Iowa, its New Hampshire but Thompson can’t afford to come out of Iowa a big loser opt of substantial support or else he’ll run his campaign in New Hampshire to the ground. We’ll have to see if he changes his campaign strategy or simply commits again to beefing up his campaign with diligence.
