Agree

[snugs]

That was my thought to but on the other hand the media do portray McCain as a Maverick who is not afraid to go against the GOP/Republican line on issues so therefore in their mind that indicates a change candidate.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

But Thompson only gets on CNN...Fox continues their boycott!

[Sunnyflorida]

Fox is pro illegal immigration - except maybe BOR - so of course McCain is their guy. The MSM loves him because conservatives don’t.

[snugs]

Yes and he would never support any other candidate for President than a Republican regardless of what happens to his candidacy.

[penelopesire]

I saw Thompson on Fox early this morning. As he moves up in the polls, he will get more air time hopefully.

[snugs]

I feel this is a mistake by Fred after all whatever people on this site feel about the Factor or Bill is one of the most popular cable prime time shows.

[altura]

I don’t think Fred has anything to fear from BOR, but neither do I think he should be blackmailed into going on with the guy.

[Cedric]

As he is the GOP candidate whom the DBM truly fear, precisely the opposite is true.

[altura]

is there a link to the audio of Jeri with Bill. I’ve heard he was rude to her.

[Sunnyflorida]

If you are a conservative and complain about not getting MSM coverage I have no sympathy. It is just a fact of life - like riding a motor cycle with out a helmet is a death wish. A conservative just has to find a way to make his case without the MSM.

Just yelling “UNFAIR” doesn’t cut it with me. You know going in this is an obstacle and you have to put on your “big girl pants” and find a way around it.

Life is unfair. SO WHAT!

[Cedric]

She wouldn’t answer his questions.

[snugs]

My fear with him is that he is a media dream silky pony preen to the cameras and does not come over as angry as Hilliary or inexperienced as Obama and there is also the public sympathy over his wife’s illness.

[penelopesire]

Agree that for some reason there is a black out on him. I think it is because he won’t play their games too.

[NautiNurse]

Because Ron Paul is a psycho who embarrasses the Republican Party?...I don’t care what excuse they give for excluding him ... just exclude him, he is an irritating distraction.

Free speech for me and thee, but not for he?

You and I may not like him, but he is a registered Republican who has followed the appropriate laws and regulations to run for POTUS. Like it or not, he is polling better than Fred Thompson. Them's the facts.

Bonus Question: What is the state motto for New Hampshire?

Answer: Live Free or Die

[Sunnyflorida]

I think brokered convention for the GOP is possible. Due to the superdelegate process I would not be surprised to see a McCain/Huck ticket.

I think the best ticket is Mitt/Fred or vice versa.

[mathluv]

'I don’t think Fred has anything to fear from BOR, but neither do I think he should be blackmailed into going on with the guy.'

I think it would be the other way around - bor afraid of FRed.

I just get sick of the arrogance of bor - if they don't come on 'his' show, they don't have a chance of winning, or they are afraid to come on 'his' show.

[snugs]

Hopefully we will see Fred Bill keeps saying he has asked his campaign constantly for him to appear and as yet no favourable response. Bill said he intended to try to get him ont he show whilst in NH so as you say we will see Monday if he has succeeded.

[barryg]

I see more of a Huck/Giuliani ticket or vice versa.

Rudy has become super conservative recently. He seems ready to attack Iran now . .lol

[dasein64]

You have pretty much summed up my impression of both debates. I have not been particularly interested in Mitt Romney, but I think he did very well last night. McCain just reminded me of his nasty disposition and he is at the bottom of my preferences, followed by Huckabee. I also thought Ron Paul brought reminders to Republicans of a real crisis in our monetary system. Food for thought that should not be dismissed because of his isolationist views which I find unacceptable. IMO Charles Gibson has done the best job of moderating so far. The RAT debate was pitiful and painful to watch. Nothing to be said except OBama was easier to take than Hillary, Richardson, Edwards.
