Ahh, this explains the marked increase in Fred bashing by the media.
Thinks just aren’t going as planned by traitor media.

Well, this article is misleading.

I've posted here in the last week about 10 SurveyUSA state polls: NM, WA, OH, KY, MI, NC, IL, and a couple of others. Two trends stand out. First, McCain is doing best of all against Hillary in almost every state. Fred's not even close---he's usually about 5-6 points behind McCain.

Rudy leads in several states, including FL.

The clear #2 person in every state including the RED STATES, such as NC, NM, OH, KS is Rudy. He beats Hillary in several, is tied or close in others. This puts to lie the fallacy that he "can't win the red states."

Even in blue states like WA, McCain and Rudy are competitive. Less so in MN and WI.

In none of these state head-to-head polls, not one, is Fred the leading GOP candidate vs. Hillary, and in most, he is the worst of the three, better only than Mitt.

A little reality here: Mitt will win IA and NH. No one seriously contests that. He will almost certainly win MI. Of the first four states, the only one Fred even has a shot at is SC, and McCain is leading there, with Mitt surging.

The battle, as Rudy figured out, is for #2 and #3, because all delegates count! Rudy only has to gain a few delegates in the "Mitt" states and then win FL before he will sweep Super Tues with all the huge delegate states of NY, NJ, CT, then CA. Only AZ, after that, is truly competitive.

National polls are meaningless---which is what Freepers shout every time a new poll comes out (like Ras, which today has Rudy up about 7%). And to an extent, they are right. It's only the delegate count in states that matters, and after that, the head to head. And both McCain and Rudy, not Fred, are looking very good in that regard.

I have a sense that Fred’s campaign is going to completely baffle the MSM. I relish in the thought of their confusion to figure it out.
