Fred isn’t my first pick, Duncan Hunter is, however using their logic, President Ronald Reagan(The best bar none, in my lifetime), lost.
What "niche" does Fred fill that other, more exciting candidates do not? For a long time, we heard that Fred was a staunch social conservative, yet he failed to entice those voters. It was almost as if he pushed them to the side. Huckabee picked them up.
For economics, and organization, rightly or wrongly Mitt and Rudy have those voters. For national security, it is Rudy or John McCain.
Not one candidate shines in all areas, yet they each are much stronger in a single class than Fred is. His position papers are excellent, but in order to win over voters it isn't necessarily the message, but the presentation of that record that counts.
Fred comes off as a grumpy, old candidate. He rarely smiles, and people want optimism. Those two qualities are what keeps Huck and Mitt in the race.
Fred could suprise in the remaining states, and this election is way to much up for grabs among 5 very close competitors, but if Fred can't sweep the south (Huck will be very close), where can he win?
Rudy has his super Tuesday path to victory.
McCain and Mitt have the early state momentum path to victory (which IMO only one will come out of), and Huck has his Iowa momentum path to victory. What is Freds path to victory?
Hunter is doing worse than Fred. By what you said, I’d guess that the same goes for Duncan...not willing to do something about it too.
My take is that the MSM types are trying their darnedest to anoint the weakest GOP candidate, to ensure a Dim landslide.
Fred and Duncan are good men who are just not getting enough airtime in the MSM, just 5 second sound bytes.
The main point was, you both hate Fred and you’re both jackasses.
You love me.
Be really careful how you phrase your words, otherwise you will be called a liar.
I didn’t think the sarcasm tag would be needed.
This is the same rumor that somebody started about Fred one day before the Iowa caucus. The Politico published it and the media ran with it. Fred and his campaign had to spend two days killing it. It was a dirty political trick.
*******************
That sums it up.
Unity, NOT division!! So sayeth the red states!
There’s either going to be some severe wailing and gnashing of teeth when Fred and Hunter finally go down - OR a deafeing silence.
Either way - it’s coming.
I think mindless attacks on a good conservative like Fred Thompson is totally juvenile.
Calling out the fools on FR is a time honored tradition.
Are you serious? Sure he did! He said that he wasn't particularly interested in becoming the POTUS at the townhall meetings in Iowa last week.
You need to do some serious googling...
well...it looks like their still afraid of Fred. So how bad could it be?
Just out of curiosity, which candidate are you voting for? :)
I am sure if Fred came by he would eat a lot as well though.
... and you're gay too.
Call me that and you would be dead wrong. What would that make you?
See my post on #93.
Hunter Duncan is sadly burdened with a very poor class of supporter.
