FT proved he couldn't withstand 0bama any more than McCain could. He dropped out far too early to be taken seriously. (I admit it -- I was suckered in, too.)

Nah, an actual conservative could have stood up to Obama.

McCain -— with his acceptance of gullible warming and opposition to tax cuts was like a pot calling a kettle black.

Yes, if Fred had been nominated he wouldn't have done any better, and McCain voters would be saying that he was the only one who could have won.

Fred couldn't even fully convince himself that he really wanted the office, so how much better would he have been at winning over swing voters?
