This article from the Politico's Roger Simon is getting a bit of attention on political sites. Simon covered a stop on Thompson's final campaign push in Iowa. The title of the piece? "Fred Thompson: Lazy as charged."
Thompson man Jonathan Adler says video of the event doesn't support Simon's description. I blog, you decide.
From the AP:
DES MOINES, Iowa - Rep. Tom Tancredo, who built his longshot presidential campaign on opposition to illegal immigration, dropped out Thursday and endorsed Republican rival Mitt Romney as the best man to carry on the fight.
As for the endorsement, reports are that Thompson wanted it very seriously as well. It might have helped energize his last-ditch Iowa campaign swing.
Not a great fan of Fred Thompson's campaign thus far; I think history will record that his late entry tactic and lackadaisical attitude toward campaigning didn't pay off. However, this moment from today's debate in Iowa might be my favorite in this cycle so far.
Stick it to 'em, Fred.
