The Gum Tree for 2007 September 20

James Dobson, a heavy hitter when it comes to the conservative christian voter base, has come out against Fred Thompson. I have commented before on this on another blog, The Thinklings, and I think that the power-players are starting to settle on the right candidate. Increasingly, I think they are starting to like Romney more and more, even though supposedly "35% of Americans wouldn't vote for a Mormon." It is true, there is a significant prejudice against members of the LDS faith, but I am very hopeful for the future. Fred was the great hope that is quickly fading as he meanders through the primary states while Romney is energetically meeting many people--the kind of people who will vote, because they are the kind of people who show up at these presidential campaign meetings. There is no Republican presidential candidate who is meeting as many people, making as many public appearances, or managing his campaign as well as Romney. As an added bonus, Romney has plenty of money to fall back on if he needs to (but don't let that discourage donations).
