Fred on Morning in America

Fred was on Bill Bennett's Morning in America this morning (audio link).

An aside: I have memories of attending a graduation ceremony for Virginia Military Institute in 1986 and listening to Bennett give a graduation speech and thinking he was wonderful. I still remember one line of his: "Keep an open mind, but not one so open that your brains fall out".

The majority of this interview regarded the Ahmadinejad visit. There are a couple of items that I took out of the interview: 1. President Thompson will play hardball with the UN and do some politically bold things. 2. Candidate Fred considers this phase of the campaign as a time to introduce himself to the electorate and not yet the time to "differentiate" himself from the competition.

I have felt like FDT is running this campaign like a horse race where you hold the horse behind the leaders until just the right moment when you let the horse go to win the race. While everyone else is running themselves ragged (i.e. getting people tired of listening to them), he will be fresh when it matters.

By the way, the campaign also had a press release regarding the Ahmadinejad visit.
