Un Candidate's Non Campaign Suffers Non Shakeups
"Former Senator Fred D. Thompson has yet to make a formal declaration that he is running for president, but already his noncampaign campaign has gone through its first shake-up.
(...)
On Tuesday, Tom Collamore, a top adviser to Mr. Thompson, stepped aside. At the same time, Mr. Thompson’s political operation announced that it was bringing in Randy Enwright, a veteran Republican strategist with ties to the Bush family, and former Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham, to take over the prospective campaign. The next day, the organization’s research director quit, and other staff members walked out."
I'll make a prediction. This guy is nowheresville. All the big splash he's making as a non candidate will evaporate once he has to stand on his own and enunciate positions, once he undergoes real scrutiny under hot lights. I believe he's merely another cookie cutter repug whore who's one gaffe away from obscurity.
