I suppose it is a strawman. But, quoting Thompson aides: “… he [THOMPSON] will spend less time on the road than his competitors and will instead rely on new forms of communication with voters, including blogs, online videos and other Internet tools.”
If this “reliance” is accurate he will probably fail. This really is the dilemma of the presidential campaign right now:
1) Will Rudy win with the star factor and name recognition
2) Will the late entry Thompson win with the new media approach
3) Will Romney win with the traditional flesh press and the advanced fundraising techniques
We’ll probably know fairly quickly.
