[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I am not writing off the lower tier of candidates yet. the election isn’t tomorrow. We should take our time and select the best candidate. If everyone did that I wonder how different the results would look.

Can you think of any time in modern history when a lower-tier candidate broke through to win the nomination? Even if you can, they didn’t have the money and media issues of today to deal with.

The only one I actually think might have some chance at traction is Huckabee, if they give him more mainstream questions at the debates. He’s really running for VP though.

If the candidate cannot beat Hillary soundly then that candidate should not be chosen. Otherwise Republicans look like that cartoon of the mouse flipping off the eagle right before the predator rips it to shreds.

Hillary is a predator and we need a strong candidate who can squash her. Otherwise we are wasting our time here.

I have posted many times that the first votes in the primaries are still more than six months away.

On any given day before the 5:00 evening news, any candidate could have a deaniac scream or macaca moment and become footnote in the history of also-rans.

It is still a long way 'til January 2008 and even longer 'til November 2008. Anything could happen -- with any candidate.
