I just got this in my inbox:
Dear Marcus,I want to thank you for your contribution as part of my online “Red Truck Challenge”. Because of your generous support, we surpassed our goal and we are up on the air in Iowa. Your generosity and support have made our success in this campaign possible, and for that I am grateful.
As we roll toward the start of caucus voting next Thursday, I am encouraged knowing that I have folks like you in The Very Far Away Land carrying my message to your friends and neighbors. I’m also encouraged by the support that we are gaining on the ground, one by one. The people of Iowa are recognizing that I am the consistent conservative in this race, the candidate that they can count on when the chips are down.
Thank you again for giving so generously of your time and resources. I am fortunate to have you on my team. I’m looking forward to a strong finish on Thursday and a strong push through the rest of the primaries and onto the nomination.
Happy New Year
Fred Thompson
I donated $100 yesterday to his campaign as he makes his last push in Iowa. Since I can’t physically be there to help, I sent cash instead. (Plus, $100 is cheap compared to the tax bills I can expect if any of the Dems get elected next year.)
I can’t stand the thought of Romney, Clinton, Huckabee or Obama sitting in the White House. In fact the idea gives me the cold sweats.
If you are a Fred Thompson supporter I highly recommend you donate now. Iowa is going to be critical for the campaign and his chances of securing the nomination. If he does well (or wins) in Iowa he will pick up the momentum on the national scene that he needs.  If he blows it, his campaign will probably die.
It’s crunch time now.

What do you think of Rudy? He still looks like the most likely to get the nomination, by picking up delegates on Super Tuesday 2-5-08.
