I thought about voting for Fred, and then I tried to figure how that would play out. Suppose I did... and all the other folks in my district did the same. Fred would get 3 delegates. Will he get enough to become a real player? I don’t believe so. Take it a step further and assume we end up with a brokered convention... Fred has a few delegates to be part of the horsetrading. Where will his delegates go? My bet is they’d go to McCain, the guy he stood beside for years in the Senate and whose positions closely mimicked his own. End game... I’d be voting for McCain, a man I loathe just as much as Arnold.

Both McCain and Huckabee have jumped on the global warming bandwagon, endorsing the criminal cap-and-trade program that will do more to destroy this country than most wars could ever do.

There really aren’t any good choices here—just lesser of evil.

The problem here is that we have no Conservative currently running. The only vote a Conservative can make is for Fred or “None of the above.” They may be wasted votes on paper, but it’s the only one a Conservative can make without violating their conscience.

For all of who are wondering what long, complicated and intriguing story line would play out if we had a brokered convention. It would go something like this:
