Actually I think it will work to the opposite. In these serious times, Fred's age and serious demeanor will be a solid contrast in his favor.

I think he wins it. In a fair contest, he wins it.

Romney’s leaking all over the press (crying at every opportunity), and Guiliani is done.

Huckabee’s at the implode tipping point.

Two weeks is a long time.

Lack of originality is not a basis for embarassment if you’re accurate.

Hoping for the best regarding the candidate we like the most and doing nothing to change or influence change in such obvious weaknesses is embarrassing.

How can we or Fred turn this perception around?
If it can’t be changed he’ll lose. Like the 300 at Thermopylae we may put up the good fight but suffer a pyric loss.

You are the first I’ve seen or heard to assert this. I hope you’re correct but I fear you are not.

Well the only proof will be in the match up.

That’s all good news and a good begining towards changing attitudes!

Now how can we (Fred) begin to turn the common perception around?

How about finding a young energetic celebrity, perhaps a singer, to endorse him and tour with him?

How about having an young, inspiring kick-off speaker to introduce him at each stop?

You and I are Freepers. We DO hang around better people than that. I would be happy if the people I hung around were representative of the American voter base.

Unfortunately the average voter is far beneath the average Freeper or their friends.

I'll take some time to ponder. You know what popped into my head immediately as I read your post? I know this is silly but it just popped in there and made me laugh.....are you ready?.....SKYWRITERS! Like a huge VOTE FOR FRED hovering over the skys of Des Moines.

I'm sorry. I just had to blurt that out.

“How is a tired, uninspiring, old, right on all the issues Fred going to win the hearts of the feel good, look good average American voter while competing agains the youthful, energetic, glib tongued, wrong on all the issues Obama?”

What was it that Reagan said during that debate? Something like,”I won’t use my opponent’s youth or experience against him.”

His personality is uninspiring.

LOL!

You're a Duncan Hunter supporter.

...the headlong dive for the bottom that it has been since he’s announced.

Bzzzt. That's a lie. His position in the polls on Rasmussen has been steady for six weeks.

...He’s leveling out at the bottom...

Bzzzt. Another lie. LRon, Tancredo and Hunter are the bottom. Fred remains statistically tied for third with McCain and Slick Willard on Rasmussen.

Sorry, just didn’t feel like scrolling all the way up the page and finding where he said it.

Fraud Thompson is a moderate like Dole.

Fred's the only conservative who has a shot.

Let me know when Hunter Duncan polls higher than the margin of error.

The first step in making change is admiting one is needed.

Pushing positively is what I’m trying to do here.
See #48.

Too many Fredheads just want to deny the problem, say it is a fabrication of the MSM, or even the it’s an advantage.

That’s a recipe for losing.
