Um...

The Giants and Pats are the featured teams right now...((;O)

[Grunthor]

He’ll get third. Good enough to stay in.

[Prokopton]

Hillary Clinton as president is what should make you ill. It does me, which is why I refuse to play the drive-by media’s game of GOP divide and conquer.

The "drive-by media" would be happy with either liberal as president, Rudy or Hillary.

[County Agent Hank Kimball]

"Hillary Clinton as president is what should make you ill. It does me, which is why I refuse to play the drive-by media’s game of GOP divide and conquer."

Well stated. And I'll even mea culpa to falling into that track wrt Huckabee - though my serious reservations remain.

There's a psychic gratification to being totally pure. "If my guy doesn't get the nod, I'M STAYING HOME!" Alas, that's an immature and self-defeating posture in a world where we face real enemies.

By which I mean Democrats.

Fred's talk is over. NFL is next!

[Senator Goldwater]

Indeed. Equating Hillary and Rudy falls under the same posture, and anyone who thinks that way has already been reeled in by the drive-by’s.

[pandemoniumreigns]

If you think about it...any showing at all by Fred would have to be characterized as a hugh win by the DBM...

They have downplayed him to the point that if he survives breathing it's a win...

“Fred’s the featured candidate on CSPAN right now.”

I missed most of it on CSPAN, but saw on the schedule that it will be repeated tomorrow 12/30 at 4:12 Eastern. Fred will also be on CNN Late Edition tomorrow at 11:00AM Eastern and then on Fox News Sunday with Chris Walace at 6:00PM Eastern. GO FRED!

[HokieMom]

That’s good to know. Someone will probably start a live thread.

Or their records.

[samtheman]

Fred’s plan better take into account an O.J. Jury dressed up as republican primary voters in Iowa.

I think you're right. Fred has a decent chance of taking 3rd place and an outside chance of 2nd, if either Hickabee or Romney collapses and many caucus goers shift to Fred. But I think 1st place is just not going to happen.

Don't get me wrong. I'd love to eat my words. But I'm sorry, I just don't have much faith in the intelligence of the Iowa Republicans. They've proven their utter stupidity by going for Hickabee.

[mamelukesabre]

You are a friend of fred? Or you are supporting a friend of fred’s?

[Senator Goldwater]

Or their records.

Hillary cleaned up New York? To quote Hank:

That’s an immature and self-defeating posture in a world where we face real enemies.

[donnab]

cleaned up New York?

Name something else he has done.

[seekthetruth]

I forgot who posts the Sunday Talk Show Thread. Just want to spread this news. Fred will be on CNN Late Edition tomorrow 12/30 at 11:00AM Eastern. A campaign event in Iowa will be shown on CSPAN tomorrow at 4:12 Eastern and then Fred will be on Fox News Sunday with Chris Walace at 6:00PM Eastern. GO FRED!

[vortigern]

Fred's looking good.

[JennysCool]

I don't know where people get this idea. The drive-bys hate Giuliani.

[gunservative]

The base will show up. The base is conservative. Big showing for Fred.

The base isn't fooled by the Huckster or Romney or Giuliani. And the base WILL turn out.

[Salvation]

I think he will surprise everyone too.

[FrdmLvr]

Or Huckabee or McCain.
