You Fred guys make me laugh. Do you think all it takes is get out of bed make a few nice speeches and all the sudden your a president.

To win, it takes years of preparation, planning and organization. Even McCain knows that. He has been working for years to get this nomination. The same with all the others that are contenders. You make light of Rudy, Mitt, and Huck but they have done all the things that they needed to do.

As far as character goes, I don’t know much about Fred but I think anyone his age that is fathering children, especially after having cancer is a selfish old fart and irresponsible to boot.

You spend a lot of time saying bad things about Romney, a man that has never enriched himself through his connection with government, has been a faithful husband and from all reports a remarkable father, and outstanding businessman and a problem solver. He is vigorous, well organized and smart.

Has he changed his mind or made statements at don’t fit on a bumper sticker, sure. He has competed in every contest so far and done well every time. He will win in Florida and he will beat either Hillary or Barack without any doubt. Even the regular dems are against illegal immigration and I think most would hate to have a Clinton in the White House.

I think Fred is a nice fellow to go hunting with or have a beer with but I want a real leader running the country.

I don’t know much about Fred but... Ya' lost me right there. An 8 year FReeper, and you don't know much about FRed? You vote for your guy, I'll vote for mine. Just remember, you'll get what you asked for. I know from experience.

Fred mismanaged his campaign just like he mismanaged the ChinaGate investigations. No surprises anywhere.

Huckabee's organization is thinner than Fred's, oddly enough. He does have the benefit of coordinating with PACs against FEC regulations to push misleading and false statements against his opponents. If that's what we want as President, then you and I aren't "we." Mitt's organization does seem solid. I don't know that Rudy has much of an organization in anywhere other than the big coastal states, so I think your statement is fundamentally untrue excepts with regards to Romney.
