John Hawkins Interviews Thompson’s Campaign Manager

John Hawkins over at  Right Wing News  has an interview posted with Fred Thompson’s campaign manager Bill Lacy.  An error on my part had this on my ticker for next year. My bad. Sorry, John.

It’s clear by what Lacy says in the interview, that they have in mind precisely the program I had laid out a few weeks ago, here.  They don’t want a peak to Worley.  It also appears that since the south is Thompson’s home turf that they are banking on what I suppose could be called the southern strategy… at least, geographically.  Thompson’s people also don’t seem to be too worried about the money situation.

If mayor Giuliani has not won a primary before Florida, the question is, what’s the condition of his campaign and can he buy a win there? Very clearly, he would have more money than we do at that point, I would think, …but money is not the determinate. Once you get the primaries going, it’s the national coverage, the attention you guys give the campaigns, …that can put us in a position to capture a decent share of the delegates in Florida. Then you go into Super Tuesday, where you have…a lot of strong Southern and Mid-Western states, after Fred has had a strong showing in South Carolina and Florida and that would put us in a strong position….”

This does seem a wise strategy.  Here’s your link… RTWT. [1]
