It is a timing thing. This stuff swings wild. Fred will be OK. Many FReepers have tried to make up their mind on locale yet see themselves coming over. They know it.

If he'd only done this from the beginning? How do we know that would have been better strategy?

Fred saved much of his money and energy for the big push. Had he squandered both on voters during their fickle stage, he might not be in as good a position as he is now.

Fred is convinced the voters don't begin to pay the kind of attention that makes them SETTLE on a candidate until just before the election. So far he's been right because, up to now, the leaders have shifted and the support has been soft. Just maybe he really will peak at the right time. I'm as optimistic as I've ever been that it will happen.

I don't think it would have mattered. Most folks weren't paying attention, anyway.
