That is ludicrous. Why wasn't it "contested?" Because Fred won't campaign in a state he knows he'll lose in---which is fine. That's good strategy. But Mitt and Rudy have a different strat, which is to compete everywhere, because it's a LONG campaign, and winning IA, or NH won't do it. This is going to be a last man standing, and I'd even bet the guy who collects the most #2s will win more total delegates than some of the guys who win #1s. It's that kind of a race.

But as difficult as it is, people here better get used to this reality: the GOP nominee will be one of four guys---McCain, Romney, Huck, or Rudy.

Now, cue all the Freepers who will sing in unison, "Well, I ain't gonna vote then, blah, blah, blah."

When the choice is to vote for a liberal in the Democratic party or a liberal in the Republican party....

And it's just not here on FR that the base has lost motivation. In the 2006 elections, the GOP lost 6 or 7 percent of the white vote (I forget which number). Enough so that if they got the same percentage they did in 2004, they'd could have possibly retained both houses, depending on the breakdown of votes.

Run a conservative and conservatives will vote. I don't know what's wrong with the Iowa and NH 'Republicans', however. Apparently those states are full of RINOs as well.
