Thompson has some woes

The boys at Peach Pundit are, as usual, falling all over themselves to rationalize Fred Thompson's lackluster fundraising ... among other early (non-)campaign gaffes.

The problem with Thompson, well one of 'em at least, is that he holds little appeal outside of the South and Republicans outside of the South aren't ready to come to grips with that (or come to grips with the fact that today's version of the Republican Party is rapidly losing popularity outside of our neck of the woods). There's a very real chance the GOP will face a divided convention, which could be mighty interesting to watch.
