Not-Yet-Candidate Fred Thompson Leads GOP Poll
Whadya know? Fred Thompson, Official Baldiness.com Unannounced Presidential Candidate, is the leading Republican candidate according to a Rasmussen poll released today.
Thompson held a statistically insignificant one percentage point lead over former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in the national poll of likely Republican primary voters, 28 percent to 27 percent. It was the first time all year anybody but Giuliani has led the 10-strong Republican field. (link)
Technically it’s first place, but that’s like giving answers on a math test to the 12th decimal because that’s what the calculator said. (For the record, that’s dumb and a dead giveaway to the teacher that you don’t understand the material and are just regurgitating formulas.)
Nonetheless, this is a man who has yet to announce his candidacy, and man who hasn’t participated in a debate or held a town hall meeting, a man whose campaign consists of an “exploratory committee” and website. (You can get a widget for your website over at I’mWithFred.com, and help the potential candidate raise some money…. Am I the only one who would bet against Fred knowing what a “widget” is?)
I credit Fred’s recent jump with the Baldiness.com endorsement. Others, however, may prefer to point toward the overall dissatisfaction among conservative voters with the official GOP candidates.

FFA,
Is that a point of resonance or criticism?
Teresa,
To me, the most important part of your statement is that you’re voting. If nothing else, you’ll preserve your right to complain about the government for another four years. :)
