None of the Above? The Case For Sitting Out 2008

I doubt an honorable man like Hunter, having just ended his campaign, would go for a re-draft. I was extremely disappointed that he dropped out before the California primary, as he was my first choice early on. Fred is not perfect by any means, but he is far above the rest, and I have never heard him say anything negative about Duncan. Frankly, if Fred drops out, I am likely to sit this one out for the first time since 1964. All the others still in the hunt are pathetic. My vote out here in la-la land probably won’t mean much anyway.

I will still do what ever I can to get his son elected for Duncan’s current 52nd District seat in California.

As I mentioned in another post there were some interesting internals in the latest Florida Rasmussen poll. Asked who they thought was politically conservative, those who thought Thompson was conservative, 61%, Huckabee 45%, Romney 43%, McCain 21%, Giuliani 14%. This compares to the actual poll of who is currently favored to win in Florida; Romney 25%, McCain 20%, Giuliani 19%, Huckabee 13%, Thompson 12%. I guess Florida has taken a hard turn to the left since 2000 and 2004.

OH. You’ve got me there. Souter is a very good reason to let hillary pick the next three or four. < /sarcasm >

I think Hunter would, as long as there was some real money backing up the invitation, say on the order of ~$20M.

If Fred does not win this thing, I am voting 3rd Party, Wayne Allyn Root!

You neglected to include Stevens, O’Connor and Kennedy.
