(Almost) Everyone Loves Thompson Today

| | Comments (0)

A day after his best debate performance, Fred Thompson picks up the endorsement of the conservative magazine Human Events. The endorsement makes three references to Reagan, including one directly comparing the two lawmakers:

We like the way Thompson unhesitatingly attacks the liberal ideologues and their activists such as MoveOn.org and the ACLU, and the way he reaches out to those we knew as the Reagan Democrats.

The question now is whether Sen. Thompson will do what he has not yet done: Take the advantages he is given by his intelligence, his principles, his political skills and this endorsement and make the best use of them.

Thompson also gets overwhelming support from a poll of conservative bloggers posted on Right Wing News. Along with winning against the GOP field, Thompson comes far out ahead in every positive category. Of course, it's also worth noting that Duncan Hunter comes in second. Maybe bloggers just like the drop out tease?

NBC's First Read is less forgiving:

It was easily his smoothest performance, but it wasn't necessarily presidential -- it was Jack Cafferty-esque or Paul Harvey-like. In short, he sounded like a smart (and cranky) pundit.
