Drawl Watch: Thompson In Texas

Fred Thompson makes his first campaign visit to TX on 9/19, during which he'll raise cash in preparation for the close of the 3rdQ on 9/30.

Also in preparation for the end of the 3rdQ, Thompson's camp announced the kickoff of its "Hometown Heroes" campaign, in which they'll track the per capita contribs of every "community in America." The community with the highest per-capita contribution total between 9/6 and 9/30 will win a campaign stop featuring Thompson himself.

The camp plans to notify donors over the next 10 days to let them know where their community stacks up and encourage supporters to recruit donors in their community. Is this a sign of fundraising struggles or just another gimmick to get supporters to ramp up contributions? [ADAM AIGNER-TREWORGY].
