Roger Simon’s blog carried this.

The rise of Fred Thompson is a leading indicator that the internet is leveling the playing field in our politics and lessening (although obviously not eliminating) the need for big money. Thompson is emerging as a major candidate while hardly spending anything at all. His strategic appearance on Breitbart.tv was brilliant. And thanks to Drudge it is now going viral. Cost to Thompson: car fare.

Between Thompson’s approach and everyone else, there is more than 6^o of separation. This type of thriftiness will do well for the future of national debt. Elect him on the Parsimony Platform.
