“Not surprising, since he hasn’t really started campaigning there.”
Was he planning on starting soon. I know he skipped NH & MI to get straight to SC, a state BTW where he should have won easily. Rudy has backloaded his campaign, he’s been camped out in FL for months, spent tons on TV ads. With Fred running behind all the other candidates at the moment when exactly does he win one? Or is this just more Go Fred Go?
What makes you think Fred should have won SC easily? He was competing against someone who got not just Republican votes, but those of Independents and Democrats who voted, as in some of the other states, with the express purpose of messing with the Republican primaries. He was also competing against someone who was accepted without question by some Christian voters, because he was a preacher.
I thought Fred might do better, and I'm sorry that he didn't, but it wasn't because he wasn't getting his message out there. Those who listened to him voted for him. Sadly, others in SC seem to have something other than conservatism in mind this year.
I hope he stays in, though, we still need his strong conservative voice needling the voters and the other candidates.
Yep, it's more Go, Fred, GO. I hope to keep saying it for quite awhile. ;o)
