if Duncan could muster any numbers, I would be behind him 110 percent. Of all the candidates, his record most reflects my own views. FR used to be all about Duncan, now it’s all about Fred. If Fred ends up tanking, who is next? Whom is good enought to discuss freely and whom is not?

In my case, the candidate most likely to stop Rudy.

Any one and everyone....

And if all of you people out there who keep saying DH would make a GREAT President but can't make it....would support him with your $$ and ALL WAYS POSSIBLE....dang it, he'd stand a chance!

ANYONE with half an ounce of brains knows that the press won't be on our side...so it's going to be up to US to do the work.

***Fred is tanking. Duncan is slowly building up. And what you say is on target. The only time I’ve ever been suspended in a decade of Freeping was when I was posting recently about Fred.

According to Polls, Fred Thompson Foundering

It’s a wide open race, might as well back the most conservative man.

Here’s what I’ve been posting lately.

Here’s a recent poll showing Hunter at 4%.

Here’s an intrade link to the forum site discussing how Hunter might be gaining traction.

Here’s one showing Fred at 6%, and discussing why.

One thing prediction markets are better at — their only bias is whether someone can make money trading the futures contracts.

Fred has lost ~30 points at Intrade over the last few weeks, looks like it’s stabilizing at ~6%.
