I kind of think that is what Fred has been doing (helping McCain) and we were all suckered.

That would bemy guess. You’ll know for sure if Fred continues in the face of certain doom. He doesn’t have a real possibility of getting the nomination at this point, so the only reason to continue is to split the vote. Freds endorsement wouldn’t help McCain, conseratives would just ignore it, but siphoning votes from Huckabee & Romney would help.

I don’t know if Fred’s done that to this point, but if he continues about all he can accomplish will be to help McCain by taking votes from Huckabee and Romney. If Fred endorses McCain, I’ll lose all respect for him.
I’ve hoped for months that either Fred or Romney would emerge as the winner. No real preference of the two. Rush, Levin and other conservative talkers have as much as said the same thing, praising the stances of both during recent weeks while pointing out their differences with McCain and others.
Romney, and many before him, have changed some positions when going from state to nationwide campaigns. I believe Romney would govern as he says now, flip-flops or not. I think his real flip-flops were to win in liberal Mass. and his positions now are what he’s probably always been.
Fred and Romney are very close on the issues, especially immigration. If Fred endorsed McCain he’d be abandoning what he’s campaigned on thus far. I’m definitely hoping Romney can win it now that Fred’s seems finished.
All Fred supporters need to take a fresh look at Romney. He’s closer to Fred than any others by far.
