Jump on the Fred wagon before you sink in quicksand, quicksilver.I will give Fred every chance to sway me, if he ever decides to run. I do think that it is much harder for senators to win, however.
It’s tough, but not impossible. We’ve gotten more used to Governors (or VPs) as standard-bearers in recent years. The likelihood is that the rodents will put up a Senator, as they did in ‘04, so Fred will be evenly matched there (albeit as a former Senator). You have to remember that arguably our greatest GOP President (ole Abe) was a former one-term Whig Congressman who had been out of office 12 years. He never had experience as a Chief Exec, but he sure had a baptism by fire, didn’t he ?
