Like everything else in this crazy mixed up election year - and most especially when it comes to the boundless number of contradictory reports concerning the ill-fated Thompson campaign - who can really say for sure what is truth when it comes to the Louisiana outcome...but I have to say that there's enough "what if" scenarios in the campaign to drive Harry Turtledove around the bend.

It wouldn’t have mattered because you can’t even tell there WAS a LA primary by watching TV (at least I haven’t noticed any coverage).

I won’t vote for Huckaboob, McCain, or Mittens. I am thinking we should keep voting for Fred to send the Republican party and the MSM a message. We ought to try to keep a 10% vote for Fred - all you new Mittwits really think Flipper will stay conservative when he starts looking for Dem votes in the general may not be thinking clearly. But we need to keep the campaign going, because as devoted as FRedheads are, we alone do not make 10% of the voters. We need to campaign for Fred, to go door to door, to call voters, to put up signs, to write letters to the editor, and to keep those bumper stickers on our cars. Not only that, but we need to do it fast.

We need to get those voter lists from the supervisor of elections and start calling today. Are we committed enough to recruit and organize volunteers? Because if we want Fred’s message to reach the people, we will have to do it for him without him.

I haven’t heard a William Sherman statement from Fred “If nominated, I will not accept; if drafted, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve.” Let us overlook the horror of someone from the South citing Sherman, and feel secure in our knowledge that FDT loves his country too much to turn it down.

Ready to go to work? Remember, it isn’t over until I sing — and I forgot the lyrics, so I ain’t singing. We need to keep buying tickets to the dance for Fred. Of course, it wouldn’t hurt if some of the folks who worked with the campaign were to (unofficially at least) help out with materials, lists, etc. But if we want to keep it going, it comes down to us.

Shout it from the rooftops, post it on the blogs, send it to the talk shows - and scare the poop out of the drive-by media. If we can get even 8% of the vote for a candidate who isn’t actively seeking the nomination, it sure as shootin’ will send a message to the powers-that-be in the Republocrat part. Might even turn it back into the Republican party.

OK? G-d bless our great Republic, and keep FDT on the ballots.
