The “Fred-heads” begin to assemble
Sphere: Related ContentIowa’s ultimate political guru, David Yepsen, recently tied two polls together to resolve that a Fred Thompson entry into the race for the Republican nomination would help John McCain by hurting Mitt Romney. The Washington Post, on the other hand, tells us that Thompson is already hurting McCain’s candidacy by sucking away his peeps. Yes, John Dowd.
Dowd’s move signals yet another threat to his struggling campaign. As Thompson (Tenn.) builds his team of major fundraisers such as Dowd, the challenge for McCain will be to collect the millions of dollars necessary to maintain a nationwide campaign and convince Republicans that he is their best bet to retain the White House.
“I am very sorry to see what’s happened to John [McCain],” [John] Dowd said in an interview. “I don’t think his campaign is being well run. It’s been over-managed. He blew through $8 1/2 million. It’s a difficult thing to leave a friend and go to another friend. But we lost the John McCain I knew.”
