Fred was on Hannity & Colmes tonight and had a great interview:
Lastly Mary Katherine Ham has a few good words for Fred:
Fred’s been doing some seriously cool stuff to endear himself to conservatives.
First, it was the anti-hand-raising revolution staged against Carolyn Washburn
of the Des Moines Register. Well played.Then there was the tough-guy “you
want a piece of me?” apologies post.After that, Allah
pointed out a devilishly clever answer on the dopey AP survey question:
“What’s your most treasured keepsake?”Fred: “Trophy
wife”Next,
he went on down the road of anti-McCainisms, poking a stick in the media at
every opportunity.
AP: “What’s your lazy day activity?”And,
he rounds out the hat trick today with this one:
AP: Who’s your favorite 20th-century president?Fred:
Martin Sheen (who played Josiah Bartlett in “The West
Wing”)Although most conservatives would probably argue for Dennis Haysbert, Fred’s having
fun with this and razzing the media at the same time. It’s what conservatives
wanted to see from the candidate from the beginning– the wise cracking and the
confident charm of a performer coupled with solid conservatism and the assist of
some star power to win a general election.
Everyone keeps saying its too late. I don’t believe it. He is just catching his stride and Conservatives all over are noticing.
“I’m not raising my hand until Chief Justice Roberts swears me in.”
Fred is the man, bar none!
I watched it (thanks for the tip Mike), he was GREAT! Quick wit, great wisdom, full schedule in Iowa: all his opponents can complain about now are the bags under his eyes and his “late” start. We’ll see how the “Christian Leader” with half a brain stacks up against all of that.
David Yepsen, the Des Moines Register political reporter has a new story:

It’s possible to see a late surge by Fred. He’s certainly working the ground there.
It’s way too soon to count ANY of the top tier GOP candidates in or out.
He’s my man, I just sent a little something to his campaign. I can see him and Duncan Hunter as a strong “Conservative” team, destroying who ever the Democraps offer up.
