Buying the Thompson Hype
The lede in a Politico article yesterday really shows the extent to which some people have bought into the Fred Thompson hype:
When Fred Thompson finally announces his candidacy next month, it will be the closest thing to a successful draft of a presidential candidate in more than a half-century.
1) The Thompson draft, with the image of a reluctant candidate being drawn in, was pretty much fake. And Thompson admitted as much to USA Today a few months ago:
2) It’s not the first successful draft since Eisenhower — and we don’t have to go far back to find another. Are our attention spans and long-term recall so short that nobody remembers the Draft Clark movement? It was only four years ago.

Both Clinton & Thompson defend lobbyists
I’m noticing one or two little odd parallels in the presidential race. No, I’m not equating these candidates with each other, but it’s funny how these coincidences happen at the same time, isn’t it?
