ImWithFred.com Gets a Facelift

7 August 2007

Supporters of Fred Thompson for President are, understandably, growing impatient and concerned that there has, to date, been no official announcement. Few doubt that Thompson is going to run but any potential announcement date remains shrouded in mystery.

In an apparent effort to maintain support and enthusiasm Thompson has revamped his web site, ImWithFred.com. Emails went out to supporters today promising weekly updates, a move that comes none too soon for impatient supporters.

I’ve been an active, vocal supporter of Fred Thompson and so far I’m sticking with that. But I’m not sure how long I can maintain that support without an announcement. There’s a second tier candidate I’ve blogged about before that I have my eye in, Mike Huckabee. I’ve said that if Thompson doesn’t run I’ll be supporting Huckabee. Indeed, if Huckabee had more support I might be behind him now. But I have to consider electability as well as positions. Huckabee has been gaining though. He’s not exactly top tier but he’s saying the right things, including very vocal support for the FairTax.

Thompson says his support is growing and the polls seem to back that up but I don’t see how that can last. If Thompson doesn’t announce soon I believe he’ll see his support begin to slip. So here’s hoping Thompson makes a move soon.
