“Official Fred08 Store“ Says Fred Thompson Won the Debate In S. Carolina As Revs Up His Campaign

  Phoenix, Ariz. – “We were cheering in our seats after watching the televised presidential debate in Myrtle Beach, S.C., “ said ELBusa Owner and President Maura Statman, whose company is the only woman-owned business providing official licensed promotional products in the 2008 GOP Presidential Campaign, handling campaign materials for Fred Thompson’s bid for the Republican nomination.  Sen. Thompson answered the question of ‘who is the true conservative’ live on TV.

During the debate Thursday, Thompson went on the offensive, questioning GOP challenger Mike Huckabee's comments on tax cuts, immigration and foreign policy, and knowledge of the Pakistani military. The former Arkansas governor didn't represent "the model of the Reagan coalition," said Thompson, but the "model of the Democratic Party." The post-debate focus group on Fox News Channel concluded that Thompson won the debate, tipping the scales in his favor toward undecided voters.
