From a Conservative’s standpoint like us, Rush FR, Human Events it really is a very easy and obvious choice to support Fred. It’s not very difficult or complicated...he’s the only Conservative in the race with a chance to win.

I just worry about the rest of the electorate...the mushy middle with no convictions who just vote by the seat of their pants.

We’ve all talked to friends, neighbors and coworkers about politics and I’m sure your conversations go the same way as mine.

“Who do you like for President?”

“I dunno, I sort of like Obama or maybe McCain or Romney. Rudy rubs me the wrong way.”

“What about Fred?”

“I dunno. Something about him.”

“What?”

“I dunno.”

I think that that mushy middle will take care of itself. All it takes is a bit of inspiration and they are headed to your team. Most independents either do not know enough to make a decision or are really not as much independent as they appear on the surface. Bush won the independents in 2004 not because of any great change of policy but because he spoke what he believed strongly and had a team of support and a blow out convention to build on plus a horrible candidate to run against. Plus we on the net saved him from Dan Rather and deconstructed the anti-War Hero of the left for him. Independents are typically not hard to convince they just are very hard to keep on your team. They are the ADHD class of politics.

That said, we just need to win the battles we are fighting now. The one we will fight in the general election will come soon enough. Does anyone think that we can not deconstruct the most liberal of Democratic party? Both Hillary, Obama, and Edwards are disgusting trolls of victim politics, class warfare, blame America first, and social liberalism. If we can not take them down then we deserve to be ruled by them.

In this sort of conversation, my first positive statement about Fred is always: “I just really like his sort of common sense.” Then I progress to specific points: 2nd amendment, taxes, the WOT, conservative judges, etc. I try to tailor my comments specifically for the person I’m talking to—saying things that will appeal to them and be cogent to their personal circumstances.

There are a lot of “undecideds” out there still and just a conversation in the grocery store checkout line can lead to a “convert”. We can’t afford to overlook anyone.
