Answer the question. Prove you have a IQ over an ice cube and not some lame attack FUD wacker.
Your question is unclear. What alternative do you mean? Alternative to Fred or alternative campaign strategy?
For the latter, see post 54. Start in June or July, raise some money, get out earlier and parlay the media buzz he had to make an early impression.
For the former... I’m a Hunter supporter, and this guy has had to work against all of the odds and has had no media coverage, next to no starting funds (he’s running on a congressman’s salary, which isn’t all that much), little name recognition being a Republican in California, and a barebones campaign staff that includes his son. He’s still hanging in there, and he has a cult following because he took the time, announced early and built it. His task is to build it in places the other candidates are neglecting.
If you mean “what should Fred do now,” I hate to break it to you, but it’s too late. The damage has been done. Iowa and New Hampshire are lost. If he wants to try Nevada and Wyoming, it may give him a chance.
