I've been unwilling to join the Fred parade but have tried to avoid a continuous stream of criticism while he tries to find his legs.

Naturally, his supporters want to discredit the various pundits and players who are coming out saying that Fred is not up to it. But that opinion seems clearly to be gaining ground.

Fred has less than a month, IMO, to start looking like a competent and energetic campaign. He will never get to a primary unless he finds his campaign legs pretty quick.

No need to trash him now...I am content to let him have his shot. If we don't see something soon, his supporters will have to look around. It'd certainly be a better outcome to find a concensus candidate than settle it with a prolonged and rugged campaign battle where we all bloody one another.

Hey, Sergei - long time no see! Nice to read your common sense again.

Sensible post about Thompson needing to show he is up to the campaign pretty quickly. That’s why I’ve been saying to let your neighbors, friends, family, etc., know about Duncan Hunter. If Thompson stumbles who does a conservative vote for? We need to get Duncan Hunter in a position to be a real alternative if Fred Thompson doesn’t make it when the rubber meets the road. Otherwise we are looking at Guilianni.
