Peter Brown, writes for Real Clear Politics:
When one political party tries to influence the other’s presidential primary race the reasonable assumption is that someone is trying to stop the nomination of a candidate that party does not want to face in November.
That’s why a Democrat-aligned group injecting itself into the Republican campaign by alleging that Fred Thompson lobbied for abortion rights is a pretty good indication the other side thinks he has serious potential.
On Blue Crab Boulavard, Garus, adds:
And it has been a remarkable series of negative attacks, obviously planted in a compliant media. I’ve said all along that candidates in both parties should rightfully be frightened of a Thompson run. It sure looks like some are.
And I add, when you read main stream media, think Mrs. Clinton. If the media is scared of Fred Thompson, it only means that Mrs. Clinton is a afraid of Fred. Well she should be.

Romney’s been going after Fred too, from what I’ve read.
