Frank Luntz on McCain and Thompson

Frank Luntz was on Sean Hannity's radio show yesterday afternoon (I caught part of that), and he was also on Hannity and Colmes last night. Luntz is a political analyst who uses focus groups to see where a candidate is standing and from what he says, John McCain's prospects are sinking fast, while Fred Thompson's are rising just as quickly.

The biggest problem for McCain is his support of the amnesty bill. They can call it comprehensive immigration reform, but what it boils down to is amnesty, conditional though it may be. The problem with too many politicians is that they forget that the voters have eyes, ears, and minds with which to process what they see and hear. And the voters are angry. As for Thompson, it's not just star appeal. There's a lot more to his attraction than that.

Hot Air has a portion of Luntz's appearance on H&C last night. Take a look...it's highly informative. Meanwhile, Ace points out why these citizens-in-waiting will not "more than pay for themselves" with the taxes collected on their earnings.
