Actor and former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee won the Washington State Republican Party's first straw poll Saturday night. Not bad for a guy who's not yet a presidential candidate. (Or maybe that's part of the appeal.)Washington has caught the Thompson Wave!!
Chairman Luke Esser's e-mail update sent Monday night says Thompson got half the votes at the party's 25th annual gala dinner and auction. More than 570 people were there, though only about 29 percent of them voted.
The results: Fred Thompson, 50 percent; Mitt Romney, 16 percent; Rudy Giuliani, 15 percent; Duncan Hunter, 10 percent; John McCain, 5 percent; and Tom Tancredo, Tommy Thompson, Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich, 1 percent each.
"Clearly the other candidates have some work to do to match the support that former Sen. Thompson is receiving from grassroots activists," Esser wrote. "Two presidential candidates — Sen. John McCain and Rep. Duncan Hunter — had
representatives campaigning at the event (every presidential campaign was
invited to participate)."

I know it's kind of inconsiderate to leave comments against a candidate on a supporters blog, but I couldn't help that bring up that I'm not sure how people can ignore that Fred supports NAFTA and globalization. I personally support Duncan Hunter the 'father of the border fence' and a the most consistent conservative in the race. But if I had to choose between Fred and the current top-tier candidates I'd take fred.
This bill is on the Senate floor being debated TODAY!
Public Advocate demonstrates in Washington, DC, protesting the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Protection Act (H.R. 1592), which would grant special rights to homosexuals. This law would add sexual orientation to federal hate crimes statutes.
