IMO, couldn’t be further from the truth.

Overwhelming support for Fred Thompson could happen overnight, and any time.

Don’t forget the effect that current events can have on the election too.

Great example is the border agent who has just been killed. There will come a point when people will have had enough!

And voters may just turn around and break down the doors to support Fred, who would they go to otherwise?

Stay tuned

***Fred is Dead. Face it already! That’s reality***

How optimistic you are, but I don’t think that the sheeple will ever get enough of liberalism and socialism. It’s all they understand: a candidate who can clean up GWB’s mess and “help” them. GWB has ruined conservatives by coopting the label.

People need to separate fantasy from political strategy, as well.

People, stop. It’s Over. It’s done. He had his shot.

Staying in faces even more starkly the reality he has faced for over a month.

There Is No Path From Point A To Point B.

There is no scenario that gets him the nomination. He can’t pay for ads in big media markets. A “brokered convention” doesn’t annoint a 100 delegate candidate over a 1000 delegate candidate. And if he doesn’t want VP, as everyone seems to claim, then Why Stay In? There is no relevance. He isn’t holding anyone or anything rightward.

The only thing he is doing is splitting the anti McCain vote. Everyone here swears he would never take their money and spend it that way, that there is no conspiracy.

Fine, then it’s time for him to do the difficult thing and end that which is already over.

Exactly. When the $h*t hits the fan, the most passionate voices will be heard. The question is, are there enough of them?

If Romney and McCain and Huckabee and Rudy are raptured away, yeah.
