A well reasoned argument. Fred is best on the issues. People who support Fred often fail to emphasize it and instead ridicule Huck or Romney. In a few short days, things will change. We will know who will be going to the playoffs. Fred is playing for a wildcard slot and he is now a longshot to finish in the top 3 in Iowa or the top 5 in NH. The questionis what then. Do the Fredheads take their ball and go home or do the line up behind who Fred endorses?
If Fred doesn’t pull this out, I could be in trouble. I won’t vote for McCain because I think he is nuts & cannot be trusted to honor his words during a campaign. I won’t vote for Huckabee because I disagree with so many of his positions and don’t want another compassionate conservative in the WH...I think of Huckabee as GWB without the foreign policy strength. I won’t vote for Rudy. Hunter is in worse shape than Fred, and Paul is obscene.
That would leave Romney, but I’m worried he’s going to pull a Dole, and veer hard left if he gets the nomination. In a general election, I might vote for him - but it would be with great misgiving.
