Judging by the photoes posted on the Fred Thompson website, his
appearances down in Florida garnered a bit more than those being
discussed here. Folks we’ve spoken to, including Florida reporters
who rode the media bus during Thompson’s tour, put the numbers at
The Villages at over 1000, perhaps as high as 1500. They said the
numbers were consistent with other candidates who had made what is
now considered a “traditional” stop for candidates to the
retirement community.
