9/24: We're Just Not Seeing It
Fred Thompson may have succeeded in driving more traffic to his site than any other GOPer, but we are just not seeing any big name blogger excitement to match those traffic numbers. If anything, the more the conservosphere gets a look at Thompson, the less they like what they see. Thompson was roundly panned for his 9/22 address to the MI GOP, and the Heritage Foundation's Robert Bluey was the harshest: "It was like watching Bob Dole - without the Viagra."
There is still little doubt that many GOPers are underwhelmed by their options, but as The Corner's David Freddoso explains his 9/22 performance is "still more proof that the demand for Thompson appears to outstrip the supply."
