Fred has got to beat Mitt, right?

People, what does this mean?
This was IT. This was not a contest for 3rd. Thompson himself said he was putting everything into South Carolina. If he can’t do better than 3rd there, why would he continue? The magical brokered convention does not elevate a 100 delegate candidate to a nomination in an 850 million dollar process? Whoever is the substantial leader there will have most of the votes won and most of the delegates won, and decent American patriots who happen to be delegates will respect what is fair and consistent with democracy and award the nomination to that candidate.
Hanging around for a brokered convention just drains money from supporters for a cause known to be futile.
You don’t get it... after tonight there is no coalition known as the Republican Party. It will fracture and die as we know it... if the exit polls are correct. There is no way that any other Republican but Fred could unite us... and divided we will fall... bank on it 100%! We may win the Congress and Senate... doubtful... but the Presidency (running a liberal) cannot beat the dims and independents that will vote for the beast. Rush Limbaugh stated this Friday... but others of us have been saying it here on FR for months. Any celebrations during these primaries will be fleeting at best. Doom awaits us just around the next turn.
