I recently had a conversation with a proprietor of a political web consulting company that designs campaign websites for candidates. He had been contacted by a staffer for Fred Thompson about building a campaign website for the former senator from Tennessee. It is highly unusual for someone who isn’t considering running for president to be requesting bids on building out their website; ergo, Thompson is laying infrastructural groundwork for a presidential run.
One last thing: the company Thompson was asking to build his website is a Democratic one, with only Democrats and liberal organizations on their client list.
That’s either a statement about Thompson’s lack of commitment to supporting Republican businesses or the sorry state of the Republican online campaigning infrastructure. I’d lean towards the latter, but then again I wouldn’t be personally hurt if it was the former.

I believe has become obvious over the last two weeks that Thompson is running. First,he inticed the listeners of Fox News, Second, he announces the cancer bomb and diffuses it. Then he meets with 50+ members of congress yesterday.
Then the intel that you just came up with confirms that he is methodically moving in the direction of running. GET READY!…GET SET!…G
As to the website management…my only question is who is the best and did he hire the best.
