Well, at least two of them. A little while ago, I was at a small Romney rally in a parking lot in Tampa. About 150 Romney fans gathered for a brief pep talk from Romney, in a crisp white dress shirt, with his sleeves rolled up.
Afterwards, I talked to an older woman who said immigration was one of her top issues and that she and her brother—also at the rally—swung to Romney as of yesterday, after their original candidate, Fred Thompson, dropped out.
In what can only be interpreted as a shameless bid for the Fred vote, Romney addressed the crowd from the back of a pick-up truck—although a white, not a red, one. That would have been just too obvious...
I bet the pickup truck was also foreign with no dirt or mud on it.
Was it Red?
No, reading the freaking article. :) It’s white.
Well, I’m not offended by it. We FRedheads have to go somewhere, unless we want to sit in a corner and sulk instead of voting. I do notice, however, that I’m getting pinged to the “Romney’s our guy” threads; I wonder if any other FRedheads are. That too is a clever tactic.
Romney has done some other FRed things too...
And has adopted Duncan’s views on issues...along with Duncan’s fence...
I can only imagine how far to the left he's going to tack in the general.
Call out for Fred to do commentary when he can.
Don’t let the talk radio ppl forget what Fred stands for.
In otherwords, don’t forget Fred, don’t accept less, and be a pain in the *ss! :-)
LOL!
You go, Mitt!....All the way to the Oval Office.
We need you!!
They’re after the Fredheads...

Mitt has his own liberism...
Much worse than Huckabee...
Duncan held his nose and picked the less of five RINOs
The truth is the GOP had produced several reasonable candidates for the presidential nomination. None are “perfect,” but neither are you. A vote for any of them will require from you an end to the thrust-lip tantrum. You’re going to have to wipe your little eyes, haul up your drawers and - egad - do what Reagan would have done; he would have looked for the candidate who he felt was - taken all-in-all - best for the whole nation, not just for some little one-issue subgroup; he would not simply vote for his comfort zone.
In unserious times, and vacations from history, it is possible to hold oneself aloof from a process and declare, “fiddle-dee-dee, I’ll think about voting next election!”
It cannot be said enough: we are in serious times. In this election you do not have the luxury of complacently waiting for the next bus because you don’t like any of these drivers. In this election, you either get on board and take the damn uncomfortable, bumpy ride with the rest of us, or you marginalize yourself into irrelevancy on your little bench
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Romney has his own liberalism...
It’s called Smart Campaigning.
Thats a dang good idea!
Well Mitt has my vote courtesy of Fred dropping out in Florida now as well...ditto 3 members of my family.
