Rush took a hit tonight. He really stuck his neck out.

I don't believe so. I think he is looking beyond Iowa. Everyone knew Huck would likely win in Iowa.

McCain is beyond broke. Even if he wins NH, he has to borrow money to keep going.

I think that I heard a blurb on Fox tonight that he just borrowed 3 mil to keep his campaign going.

I just don't get it.

McCain tied for third = great shape going into NH.

Thompson tied for third = should hang it up.

Fools all. I still see Huck fading. Unless Romney wins NH, he's in a deep hole too. A wide open brokered convention this summer is a good possibility.

The positive that I see is that whoever wins, likely trounces the Dem candidate. Obama is a wanna-be.

That a man would allow his sons to become that disgustingly fat, indicates the man has no ability to lead whatsoever.

Don't worry...I'm sure you're happy to learn that he's seen the light and now wants to be a big Nanny to us all and prevent that from happening to the country.

Don't know what he can do for idiocy, though, so I guess you're out of luck! ;-)

Just freaking unbelieveable. Greta Van Sustenance talked about the surge of McCain and he is in 4th place. Talked about Romney and Huckster, and NO mention of Fred at third place. I called it an hour or so ago. Fox sucks.

Doesn’t this mean that Obama gets 16 delegates and Edwards/Hillary get 14 each? The “win” is more symbolic than concrete, right?

But GOP is “winner take all”...right?

And being a Christian does not automatically make you a conservative or a Republican.

Man, we better get ready for Obama. I thought Hillary was a lock but he just might be for real.

Mrs. Obama has the Laura Petri look going.

Or is that the Jackie Kennedy look?

Fred did great.

Romney got a kick in the nuts.

Huckabee? a flash in the pan

I should have said, “IMHO”.

I have watched him, I have read about his background, I have listened to him, I have read things he has said.

IMHO (Please note: I just said “IMHO”), if a man has a “Calling” to be a preacher, his greatest goal in his life will be to lead people to Christ. I have known people that had that “Calling”. They will do everything they can to fulfill that ‘appointment’. It is so engrained in their soul, they will spend the rest of their life to their committment to Him.

To give up this Inspired “Calling” to go into politics, is my main reason for not trusting this man.

Sure - he is a good speaker. So was Bill Clinton. Sure he has a sense of humor. So did Bill Clinton. Would that make him a good president? IMHO - no.

There are many other reasons to not vote for (or respect) him - but you didn’t ask me that, so I will sign out - for now.

I approve the above message ~ yorkie

That aint good.

I just sent a message to Fred’s webmaster alerting him of this problem. Hope they get it fixed...pronto.

I already gave and plan to give again.

Fred’s the best candidate we have.
