Forgot to ping you 2 on this one. Pass along the ping if you want to.
Thanks for the ping.
Huckleberry is the antidote to Romney’s Mormonism that Evangelicals seek. But their allegiance is based on little else. The more Huck is exposed to America the more his coalition will dwindle.
I suspect the GOP insiders may be happy he knocked Romney down a peg in Iowa, but that doesn’t equate to support for him. He did what they wanted him to do. Now it’s time to move on. Romney’s way too expensive in terms of ROI. Too many negatives. But he too served the purpose of putting Giuliani on the back-burner.
So, who’s left? Thompson, McCain, Paul & Hunter. Hunter has no cash and no broad support anywhere. Paul is the puppet of the left. McCain is an angry old man and too liberal on social issues. That leaves Thompson. Thompson has cash, and will work hard in South Carolina. He has to. That’s going to be the make-or-break primary for him.
My money’s been on Thompson so far, and I see no reason to change.
Oh, BTW, I’m changing my tagline for these primary threads...
