Yeah, you may be right about Freddie, but what of VALUE can McCain give him?

McCain's campaign is dead, dead and DYING.

Thompson has to see that. Why is Fred doing this? It can't just be friendship, unless Fred is auditioning for a VP slot somewhere, and if what you say about him is true, then it's Depleted Uranium city.

Head honcho at the outfit hasn't told me anything suspicious about Freddie, but we haven't spoken much about him since the boomlet started. We're keeping our distance until it blows over. "Bum of the Month", that sort of thing...

Be Seeing You,

Chris

McCain is banking on a scenario where every single GOP candidate is un-viable. Then, together with the media, AND a successful Iraq surge, claim the mantle of 'leading Conservative' after the dust settles. The GOP, in pure-panic mode, nominates him in exchange for his loyalty on Iraq. It is a long shot, but FReepers are already falling for it, by refusing to conduct personal research, and blindly following others.

The reason you don't hear the negatives on Thompson and Hunter, is that nobody is really afraid of them, despite the message they are sending out. The Dems are afraid of one person in the GOP, and that is who I support.
