Meanwhile, the right blogosphere — which has shown a considerable amount of sympathy for the actor/lobbyist’s candidacy — continues to discuss whether Thompson can recover from his campaign’s early chaos. Scott Rasmussen thinks so:
More recently, the same reporters have picked up on a story line that Fred Thompson’s delay in entering the race has been a mistake. However, the polls show Thompson remains more of a threat to Giuliani’s lead that Romney. His support is down a bit from its peak, but he’s still showing a lot of potential. As Rasmussen Reports has noted many times in recent months, that may change when Thompson does enter the race for real. But, it may not.
Rasmussen compares the early part of the race to “spring training.” Though when your team is having a terrible spring training, you tend to worry anyway. Redstate seems a little uneasy:
The delay doesn’t bothers [sic] me. What bothers me is the constant shifting of the date, which makes the campaign look second-rate at best.

Something to say?
