A couple of days ago, conservative blogger Rick Moran sent out an e-mail to conservative bloggers – who may consider supporting Fred Thompson – asking them whether they’d like to join a blogburst for Fred. The responses have been quite overwhelming: Rick told me yesterday that more than 100 blogs have joined the blogburst or the “marbleheaders” as they call themselves and have pledged to donate money to Thompson’s campaign today and to ask their readers to donate as well.
Now, if you’re a Conservative who believes that Thompson would make a great Republican nominee and president, I advise you to listen to what Rick’s got to say and to donate some much needed bucks to Thompson’s campaign. They have set a goal of “raising $248,000 by sundown on Friday so that they can run a new ad in Iowa. This ad could make the difference and allow Thompson to make a surprise showing in the Iowa Caucuses a week from tomorrow. Exceeding expectations is the game now and this media buy could very well put Fred in a very strong position coming out of Iowa.”
This is certainly possible if those who support Fred weigh in. As you all know, he’s not my favorite candidate – even though I think he would make a good president and even though I think he’s probably objectively spoken the best compromise candidate out there if it wasn’t for his perceived lack of energy and passion – but I do encourage individuals who want to make a difference to do all they can to do so. So, if you want to support Fred, do so now.
UPDATE: I was, seemingly, underestimating the impact already. I was just listening to Fausta’s Blog Talk Radio show from yesterday and it seems that they’re some 300 blogs that support the blogburst already.
