Third may not be what any of us wanted, but Fred knows the truth as well as the rest of us. He has to continue fighting.
Look at it this way, if Republicans are so out of touch that McCain is winning states... then Fred really needs to give it everything he’s got now. It’s for the country’s sake. We have to stay the course here and keep fighting for Fred. Being depressed over the results today will not solve any of the problems we are seeing.
Anyone could still take this nomination. Fred still has a few more potential openeings as we go. We all know the media is going to pump Giuliani up hard as Florida comes up. They are going to want some more “comeback kid” excitement to throw our way. This might dilute the vote down again amongst the candidates and open it all up again.
Also, if it does come down to the dreded brokered convention, it would be in Fred’s best interests to see it through with conviction all the way to the end as he might be the only man everyone can agree on.
McCain... I never thought I’d see the day... What are Republicans thinking?!?!
Advil1000,
I think your line of reasoning is correct, I still think that Fred would have the best shot at bringing in all types of voters from all corners of the country in the general election...Fred hasn’t disappointed me, the “conservatives” voting for Huckabee, McCain are the dissappointment to me.
