You said — “I was just at a Christian men’s bible study tonight. Not ONE Huckster supporter out of 20 men.”

Well, you’re still pretty funny. If I were in that Bible study group, you wouldn’t have found my hand up either. All that means (for me and others) is that Huckabee isn’t “on the radar” for a vote right now. I don’t have to vote for anyone right now, so I’m not looking over there.

BUT, for those Evangelicals who do have to cast a vote... [Hint... hint... that’s Iowa... LOL] — then you see the numbers go up. That’s the difference — the difference between having to pay attention (when you’ve got a “vote going” and someone who doesn’t have to cast a vote right now and therefore doesn’t have to get into it at the moment...

Too bad people can’t think a bit more plainly when figuring these things out... LOL

You then said — “I take it you don’t like Christians very much from your posts, but this Christian doesn’t like the Huckster.”

LOL... You are forgiven my son... :-)

Just look at my home page...

Regards,
Star Traveler

Thompson’s not dead yet. Hunter will probably be the first to leave the race, and what support he had will go to Fred. It remains to be seen if Huckabee can stay with the frontrunners.

Mmmmmm. Peanut butter crackers. Put a pack of them in front of me next to a bag of those cheese-waffle crackers with the tangy filling and tell me to choose, and it would be like putting widdle Denny Kucinich in a round room and telling him to go stand in the corner.

Hey, StarFan, how are you doing? I'm mostly watching TV... PC in the next room. Hillary will just announce that she will be fighting all that much harder in NH, etc.

I have Klintoon fatigue. I wish she'd Just. Go. Away. ;-)

I said the same thing here many times over the past year. Foxnews has drifted enought to be a part of the MSM and they are no longer an “alternative” source.

McCain invested almost nothing in the state (counting instead on NH, where he is in the lead), so this doesn't really hurt him. Romney's relatively weak showing should also help McCain. In contrast, Thompson needed a strong showing here, and a weak third probably won't do it.

BTW, the people at intrade.com who are putting their money where their mouth is have McCain as the favorite with a 30 percent chance of winning the nomination. Thompson is in sixth with a 4 percent chance. I'm not sure how reliable this has been in the past, but I'd give it more credibility and most pundits.

Yes they did dis Fred. The really shouldn’t be Pushing Huckabee and McCain and trashing the rest. I can’t believe how much time they spend dissing Mitt. This is only one state. Fred is still in there. I think I’m going to switch to CNN!

He said he had 6 million in the bank. He’s saving it for SC.

He needs to have a couple terms as Governor - dealing with the corruption and getting the state back on its feet post-Katrina. If he’s successful in those tasks his future is very bright.

MSM loves MaCain. They always have! Main reason is he is willing to take an opposite stand on issues with Republicans.
McCain does not need much campaign cash. His cash is MSM.

If you want to vote Fred DO NOT read these articles —

http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/election2008/reps/FredThompson.html. If you do anyway, then read these articles —

http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/election2008/reps/RonPaul.html, and then these on the tax-happy Huckabee — http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/election2008/reps/MikeHuckabee.html

What’s up with Fox dissing Fred? I don’t get it.

Keeping it real isn't always pretty.

Frank Luntz on FNC now. He pretty much called this race weeks ago... Huckabee and Obama.
