SIGH...this is why FR can be so exasperating at times...
Look, this isn’t about Fred. Yes, he ran a poor campaign, blah, blah, blah... that’s not the point.
As I said in my question, there was a rumor spread around the night before the caucus that he was going to quit. He didn’t start the rumor, somebody else did.
I would like to know who.
Why? ...because (again as I stated above), I’d really like to know who my enemies are and dirty tricks like that suggest other serious character flaws.
Was it Romney, Huckabee, McCain, somebody in their camps, the candidates themselves, somebody else with an axe to grind against Fred...
Given the “insider trashing” of Sarah Palin, I am also curious if it is the same people. Again, I’d like to know.
While they can’t be discussed at the time, we can safely discuss them now.
Let’s face it the GOP by in large in 2008 ran a SHITTY campaign from start to finish(Iowa, NH to election day) Sarah was the ONLY bright spot. We definatly ran our scrubs and Second teamers. Bush’s unpopularity did not help either.

You are looking for insider information on who did what to whom.
Problem is, you’re asking a bunch of folks on an anonymous internet board. We’re pretty much all, by definition, OUTSIDERS.
All you’re going to get is theories, guesses, and suppositions based on previous biases.
I’m not saying you have no right to ask the question. I’m just saying you shouldn’t be surprised or annoyed by the answers you get.

Sorry, just needed to get that off my chest.
Nobody here knows the answer and are just feeding you their most hated candidate. So the anti-Romney folks say Rmoney. meanwhile, Huck was being a Huckster and McCain was pulling strings. who knows? What we do know is that the media is the REAL enemy because they distort these things to the benefit of their favored candidate (ie McCain).
