His attacks on Thompson are silly - no Fred supporters will change to Huck. Anyone who has even a minimal understanding of why voters support Fred understands his supporters will NEVER move to Huckabee. I know lots of evangelicals like myself who would never, under any circumstances, vote for Huckabee.
Excuses are the lifeblood of losers, but the harsh reality is that Fred's votes would all have gone to Huckabee's competition, not to him. Huckabee's extreme dirty campaigning in South Carolina puts the final nail in that coffin.
Funny, that's the same reason the pundits are using for FRed to drop out...strange, isn't it?
Huck has ONE constituent base to date...an important one, but only one. His aim had to be for an early knockout, and it didn't happen.
Time for FRed to ramp it up!
