I don’t think you appreciate what a master you are dealing with. Someone said Mitt is playing chess and everyone else is playing checkers. I don’t know who said that or I would give them credit for it.
Fred reminds me of quarterback that was good 15 years ago and people really like him. Then comes a big game and they wake him up and throw him in the game with a bunch of guys that have been working hard on their game. He makes a valiant effort but he hasn’t seen the ball since the kick-off.
I think Mitt is really playing a very good game. He knew it was going to get nasty in SC and that McCain had advantages there that he probably couldn’t overcome without losing a lot of blood. So he lets the others go at each other, and he goes to Nevada and picks up the low hanging fruit. Sounds like a smart move to me.
Watch Florida, Mitt moved in and he has been working it quietly for a long time. He is going to make a big stand there and I predict he will win or take a really big second that will further reduce the field. McCain will be gone and Rudy will be hurt. Mitt is the only one with the organization and money to go hard at Super Tuesday.
How about Mitt’s got gobs of money and he’s willing to spend it on massive media and organization buys in each state. When his polling showed he wasn’t near victory in SC despite all the time he’d spent there as well, he pulled his adds for 3 days and signaled that he wasn’t really competing there? Still a viable strategy, but a more accurate narrative.
I agree. One other thing to take into consideration, Mitt has Jeb Bush’s campaign team running things for him in Florida. That’s significant.
I hate to see what’s happened to Fred & Duncan. It’s now time to throw all effort behind Mitt. I think the tide is turning for Mitt & it will probably start in Florida.
