Thanks.

I've been very busy the past couple of days, so didn't have time to post The FRead. Sorry 'bout that! :)

Let me know if you'd like to be on The Daily FRead ping list.

[Politicalmom]

Would anyone like to join me in a FReep of South Carolina, phoning for FRed tonight?

[jellybean]

Heh! You’re quick! :)

[jellybean]

I can’t tonight, but can do some during the day.

[Politicalmom]

I only said evening because the campaign said it was the best time. I wanted to do daytime, too.

I have to try to keep four children, a dog, two cats, and a hamster quiet in order to call in the evening. :)

[pgkdan]

I’m planning on making calls myself tonight.

I’ve made about 5 donations so far and plan to dig deep and make another on Friday.

It’s not just about this election, the Conservative movement is on the line. If Conservatives don’t stand up and be counted now, the Reagan revolution may end up being a footnote in the history of the People’s Republic of the United States.

The red truck is doing well, but I am also going to make another donation. Know Fred will need it to get his message out in South Carolina. Fred was on CNN American Morning this morning about 8:30 and he did great as usual. GO FRED!

I'm sending out a challenge to all FRedHeads who are not maxed out to send another $10.00 to Fred today. (More if you can.) The founders of this country pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to the cause of freedom. Is $10.00 too much to ask to sustain it?

thead and FRED bump!

Question for the group:

Something good to ponder..

McCain beats Mitt tonight in NH, effectively ending Mitt's campaign. So where do all Mitt's supporters go? McCain?..NO WAY. Huckabee? NAH. Rudy? Some, perhaps..but it seems to me that the vasy majority go to Fred. Think of it another way. When Mitt drops out, whom will the National Review endorse now? Fred's the only one.

So add much of Mitt's support to Fred's base..and the numebrs looks pretty good. And thus South Carolina may well decide it..Fred or Huck...

[ejonesie22]

The trick will be how smart Mitt really is. The GOP Money boys are looking to prove to him he is too expensive, and one would think that the “Great Executive and Investor” would realize his Return on Investment is shot.

Here will be the tell of the tale. If he stays, we will know it is about ego, not what is best for the party or nation. That is the question I ponder when I think of Mitt Romney...

I think that no matter who wins tonight Fred will benefit in the long run. I don't expect Mitt to drop out if he loses but what if McCain loses? With all the excitement surrounding Barry Obama, Superstar I expect alot of Independents who might be inclined to vote for McCain will jump on the Obama bandwagon. And if he loses, McCain is done. He's out of money and with a loss in NH he's without prospects. I think his folks would be just as likely to find their way to Fred as Mitt's would. Either way it's a win win for Fred.

[jellybean]

I'm not sure a loss in NH ends Mitt's campaign. He has enough money to keep going regardless of wins/losses. At some point he may decide he's pouring money down a rathole, but I don't think it will be soon. More importantly, I don't think it will be soon enough for Fred to pick up his supporters.

I took your challenge. $25 sent from my “allowance” from the budget. He’s worth making things a bit tight for myself.

[jellybean]

Looks like the FRedHeads are stepping up to the challenge! The total at www.fred08.com jumped $3,000 since I issued the challenge. Way to go FReepers!

[jellybean]

Awesome! Skip lunch at McDonalds — take a sandwich to work instead.

Romney got the delegates, but Thompson and Hunter won the straw polls in Wyoming.
