Lets hope Mike Huckabee will derail McLame’s “straight jacket express”.

http://www.intrade.com

REP.SC.MCCAIN
John McCain to Win M Trade 44.2 49.0 44.5 4977 -13.7

REP.SC.FIELD
Field (any other individual) to Win M Trade 53.0 55.0 53.0 5489 +15.0

Huckabee up +15 in futures market. McCain down -13.7. Futures markets are barely betting Huckabee will beat McCrazy.

“As a Fred supporter, what would your feelings be if he teamed up on a ticket with McCain with Thompson being the VP?

Would like to hear from any other Fred supporters on what they think of this combo.”

I would say this is highly unlikely in two ways: 1) Fred said he wouldn’t be VP to anyone; 2) McCain has almost 0 chance to get the nomination—he doesn’t have support of the conservative base, which is > 50% of the primary vote. Nor does Rudy.

Count their combined totals in any poll. It never exceeds 40%. The chance of your scenario is less than 1%.

That said, I’ll support any Republican candidate over any Dem candidate, for they will do less damage to the country.

Nixon was pretty good, but I guess you aren't that old.

The ability to lie convincingly is usually a big plus for high office.

I saw that. It looked like his wife had to help him down the stairs.

You’re “taking it” wrong. As usual.

what’s wrong with conservatives in South Carolina that they’d vote McCain ?

Uninformed? Must not have heard McLame support ‘wage insurance’ (or Basic Income Guarantee)
God help us if he wins!!

Well, you would know. Except for the "convincingly" part.

That is so true. There will always be large groups of fickle people. I just feel honored to have the option to vote for a leader that reminds me of those who built this country. The new style of “leaders”, the panderers, are revolting.

You make some very good points, Ed. I'll consider what you say. I'll admit original reaction was visceral and a little knee jerk...maybe I could get used to the idea, but it would take ALOT of getting used to. My best bet is to continue working for a Thompson vistory.

GO FRED GO!!!

I voted for Fred this morning in Horry County with no problems at my precinct. The machines (5 of them) were all working fine when I was there.

It's not a big plus for Christians. And Huckabee's campaign has attracted almost exclusively Christians. Almost no one else. A few populists and a few fair-taxers. Almost no one else.

Nixon was pretty good (at lying)

It was precisely because Nixon sucked at lying that he was run out of office.

Suggestion: Whatever is the first thought that comes into your head on any given subject, try typing the exact opposite thing. See how that works for ya.
