According to the Punditocracy (and the Religious Right), Fred Thompson Isn't Cutting It

Published Oct 03 2007, 01:54 PM by webteam

    Fred Thompson continues to receive awful reviews all around, as the latest Evans-Novak Political Report suggests, as well as a well-researched piece in the Politico, detailing how the Religious Right -- which was once begging Thompson to run -- is now disillusioned with their chosen candidate. (Yesterday we wrote about how they don't like Giuliani either -- sounds like they're running out of candidates.)
    Still, Thompson is doing OK in the polls -- though not in Iowa or New Hampshire where, despite his campaign's best efforts to insist otherwise, he does need to do creditably to survive. And he has apparently raised around $8 million -- not bad for a start. The real test will come in the GOP debates, which begin again next week. Then, we'll see whether he sinks or swims.
