Bump. Thanks for the first hand report.
The lack of honesty in the commentary on Fred has, without doubt, negatively affected his campaign, but the tide is turning.

“The lack of honesty in the commentary on Fred has, without doubt, negatively affected his campaign, but the tide is turning.”
It does seem to be turning, some writers are fine writing about Fred now, and some of the more hostile writers seem to be softening their tone a little bit.
Some of that is because of his performance lately, like the coming out on top at the debate, and some of it is because of Rush Limbaugh revealing his support for him.
A lot of republican writers know that they do not want to lose the Rush/Reagan conservatives that their lively hood depends on, so at the very least, they seem to think that it is best to not be seen as openly against the only real conservative of the five.
