Good analysis. PSUAdam is young (graduated in ‘03), and hasn’t come to an undersanding of Conservative politics.

The GOP wins elections when it stands on Conservative principals. It loses when it tries to be everything to everybody. PSUAdam touts the ‘broad brush’ philosophy of making the GOP open to everyone. Conservatives can’t win in states like New Hampshire, New York, Connecticut, et. al. because few there are likely to vote Conservative. Thus the GOP, to win, has to promote more centrist candidates.

Well, that’s what has gotten us into this situation to begin with. We’ve been far too amenable to centrist candidates, to the harm of the Conservative cause. This is a’ goin’ to change come 2008. Only, it won’t happen with Rudy, Johnny McC, or whoever. They’re going to soon see the handwriting on the wall; McC may already witnessed it.

“Rasmussen National poll: Thompson 28% Giuliani 27%”

What’s that smell? Did Ruby just mess himself?

“Romney is a question mark... one would think that he’d move up, but he seems pretty stagnant.”

He’ll be in the cabinet if not VP.

Heh. I’ve been away a few hours and I come back to find the Rootybots in full meltdown over today’s Rasmussen poll.

They should be melting down. Their man’s ultimate fate as a presidential also-ran just started becoming clearer.

An undeclared candidate who hasn’t spent a dime just blew by their boy into 1st place.

One more RINO on his way to political extinction.

Dems are literally terrified of Thompson. They know he’ll wipe the floor with Hillary and anyone else they nominate. Fred connects with the base — voters. He doesn’t mince words. If he doesn’t agree with you, he’ll say so and explain why. No nuancing, no avoiding answers. He’ll win the south easily, and we need southern states to win.

You must know he has an HBO special coming out and if he declared too soon — before it’s aired — HBO would have to offer free air time to all the other candidates. Watch his video aimed at Michael Moore. It demonstrates Fred’s use of humor and his down home approach. It aired the day of the first republican debate and sucked all the air out of their balloon. No one talked about the dull debate. Everyone talked about Fred’s clever put down of Moore. (Hill quickly had a video made aping the Sopranos. She wouldn’t have done that if Fred’s video hadn’t been a smash.)

Compared to other Republicans he leads among: religious voters, the college educated, and married men. Rudy leads among the young (with 50% of his support in the blue states), and McCain among women.

Ask yourself...whom votes in the primary: the young....not really....women,...yes to an extent....

or...

Religious, college educated, and married men?

Cleary if this is the continual trend, Fred will win the primary nomination.

Is there a possibility that Fred will take Romney as his VEEP running mate or will he choose his old buddy, John McCain?
I don’t care either way, as long as Fred is at the top of the ticket and Rudy Julie Annie is not on the ticket at all.

I would assume you are talking about the perception over here that Wakers exist to attack FR and support Guiliani. From reading your forum posts I know that you have been over to WA. If you have spent any time over there at all you have to know that the above mentioned perceptions are false. Thus I find myself wondering why you would wish such a harsh fate on others....

PSUAdam: shilling for Rudy since Jan '06!

And zotted since about twenty minutes ago. He could only hide his core liberalism for so long.

it's sarcastic hyperbole....you are not stupid.

the WAs are largely socially liberalto moderate former FReepers many of whom had it in for social conservatives (for years....boot heels on their throats as they called it)here especially over immigration and helped get many of us banned here over the years running in packs and conspiring to control the place.

Well now nearly all of them are gone and have their own little tidy site where they can harpie each other till the cows come home.

It's such a twilight zone over there that Stinkspur is considered now a hardliner on amensty.

And btw....I was friendly to and rather loyal to several ladies who proved to be major harpies in that bunch and they turned out to be rather hollow, not the worst but hollow.

That I am glad they are not here now but I am should shock no one.
