It seems to me the first truly bit of bad news for the Thompson team is hitting home this morning. If you are a GOP candidate and Dr. James Dobson writes THIS about you:
"Isn't Thompson the candidate who is opposed to a Constitutional amendment to protect marriage, believes there should be 50 different definitions of marriage in the U.S., favors McCain-Feingold, won't talk at all about what he believes, and can't speak his way out of a paper bag on the campaign trail?" Dobson wrote.
"He has no passion, no zeal, and no apparent 'want to.' And yet he is apparently the Great Hope that burns in the breasts of many conservative Christians? Well, not for me, my brothers. Not for me!"
...well... now you've got some problems that go beyond just shuffling campaign staffers!
I predict Thompson's daily Rasmussen lead will begin to ebb lower once this story just plastered everywhere that the media will no doubt push it too!
(Many of you who read this blog daily know that I've been one of those who has been energized by Fred's entry into the race. You also know that I have nothing but the greatest respect for Dr. Dobson. I will be weighing in on this development in a bit with some further perspective...stay tuned...)
