Guy, I know and understand what you are saying. But . . . it’s the wrong perspective. The Southern Strategy Doesn’t Win Enough Delegates. This is not the general election. It’s not WTA Electoral Votes.

And showing up at the convention with 200 delegates vs 800 delegates isn’t going to get you annointed. Thompson vs McCain in the south is not the issue. Thompson vs McCain in America is the issue, and because of an enormous mistake in Texas decision making, NY, NJ, Illinois and California are going to tell the tale this year — not the South. Not Texas. Not Alabama. Not the rest of the south. The north and west are going to define momentum.

This is not the yesteryear of smoke filled rooms. This is 2008 where campaigns cost 750 million dollars end to end. There is no way in hell the donors to the 800 delegate candidate are going to tolerate an attempt to annoint the 200 delegate guy. It’s not going to happen.

Thompson has to attack McCain in South Carolina and wherever else he is. He trails both McCain and Huckabee there. Why attack only one, unless there is a special plan the voters need not know about.

Like I have said before, don’t quit your day job. There is a whole other reason FDT has no interest in McCain.

And there are still smoke filled rooms, they are just not as smokey and have a higher class of catering...

Ahh, the Romney Sleaze Machine talking points for the night.

You’re credibility careens towards the negative territory now.

Just how many campaigns have you managed at the national level, to be saying what Fred 'has to' do.

Fred’s on script. You know it. You’re afraid, and that’s OK....hmmm, this is sounding like the end of The Matrix...LOL

Are you seriously making an argument that Fred’s team are a bunch of idiot’s...part of Team Rove?

How many times do I have to beat you over the head with Mary Matalin?

MITT ROMNEY IS UNELECTABLE - HE CANNOT OVERCOME GULIANI NOW THAT HE’S FAILED HIS EARLY STRATEGY. THE LATE GAME IS THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN. FRED ISN”T RUNNING FOR ANYBODY BUT FRED AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

He said he disagreed with McCain on immigration and said how he’d handle immigration. Is anything less than Fred walking across the stage and strangling the bastard good enough for you? You people are as bad as Ron Paul supporters with your conspiracy theories.
