Fred Does Video For Hoffman

Take note party line Republicans. The grassroots are running this show, not you. The Republican Party machine is slowly grinding to a halt from all the BS accumulating in the gears, but don't worry, most of us are very adept at cleaning and re-building machinery.

Fred Thompson: 'Send Washington A Message' By Voting Hoffman
NY Daily News ^ 10/27/2009 Elizabeth Benjamin

Former US senator, 2008 presidential contender and "Law & Order" star Fred Thompson stars in a new TV ad for NY-23 candidate Doug Hoffman in which he urges voters to "send a message to Washington" by voting for the Conservative nominee.

Thompson, who was among the first national pols to endorse Hoffman, has a history with the New York Conservative Party.

In January 2008, state Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long called Thompson his "favorite candidate" and hinted at an early endorsement. This was a snub to the hometown GOP contender, Rudy Giuliani, which isn't so surprising, since Long and the former mayor have never had a great relationship.

Thompson was the guest of honor at the party's annual fall reception last year, too.

In this ad, which is paid for by Hoffman's campaign as opposed to the Club for Growth or NRCC, Thompson calls the candidate "a principled conservative" (he's an enrolled Republican who decided to run after losing out on the nomination from the 11 local county chairs to Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava).

Thompson Strategy

If I was in charge....how many times have you said that?

Well, If I was in charge of Thompson's campaign,

First, I would fire whoever is in charge of the PR and the volunteer handling. They need a clear chain of command.

Two, I would charge after Huckabee. He is an easy target and Thompson is already carving away some of Huckabee's conservatives.

Three, McCain. Bring up his record. That's all you have to do. Get him mad. He'll do the rest.

Four, Piss off the media. Make them mention him in any way, shape, or form. Thompson is the invisible man. They don't support him, so use them in any way you can.

Five, get Thompson speaking about the issues that get the media's attention. Don't stroll through a gun show. Bring a frickin rifle to the speech! If he's legally allowed to carry, put one on his hip. Play up to his reputation.

Six, STOP BEING SO DAMNED POLITE. ATTACK DAMMIT!

Too little, maybe too late. Since the republicans have decided to support liberals, what's he got to lose?
