I missed a large swath of the debate. But McCain is actually dangerous. And Huck is so clueless, he is as well. At least Mitt and Rudy are competent enough, though they will certainly not get my vote.

Well, you know I ain’t for Fred, but you also know that I know Fred’s record pretty darn well. I know his record on taxes, gov’t reform, spending, the 2A and federalism is solid. But I’m hoping he drops out, nevertheless. I don’t try to be sneaky about it.

Interesting. I think Giuliani is the most dangerous, followed by Huck. For me McCain and Romney are together, and follow close behind — I don’t trust either of them as far as I can throw them. It would be fascinating to poll everyone about who their bottom candidate is.

I hope Hunter does not drop out. I’m not trying to be sneaky, either — I have no illusions that Hunter folks would switch over to any other candidate en masse.

However, on principle I want the folks I consider bad presidential material to drop out, and I want the folks I consider good presidential material to stay in. For me, Thompson’s views match my own most closely — as you know I have a good handful of disagreements with Hunter. However, he’s a good man, and in the good number of areas where I believe he’s right, he’s not just sorta right — he’s very, very right.

I also rankle at the idea of the establishment/media arbitrarily choosing our candidate pool — so my hide is chapped about Hunter, Paul and Keyes as well.

Anyway, best of luck to your guy.
