Listen. Fred is my #2. If Hunter drops out, right now he would be my #1. Not as enthusiastic as you, but I certainly would want him to beat back Rudy and McCain. But since he is all the rage right now, we better vet him well. He’a already got some fairly major baggage. Not anything like Rudy McRomney though, and he has a track record of reasonably good conservative credentials. Hence he is many conservative’s first choice. Hopefully this will blow over and the snakes will be revealed as the snakes they are (LA Times). But its already a media firestorm (ah, the benefits of being a frontrunner) and it will have to be slayed.
There you go again, with the reasonable doubt/Devil’s Advocate routine.
