I fear you are right. All my fellow FredHeads who are still optimistic at this point must not have a good command of mathematics. Fred didn’t win or pull off a 2nd, and he can’t at this point in SC for sure, and he won’t in FL.
Then comes Super Tuesday. IMPOSSIBLE to get his message across to all those states. He gets zero positive media coverage. He can’t do all this on his own, even with so many of us helping.
It’s just so WRONG but it’s the truth.
I wish he were 55 and not 65 so he’d consider going Veep to Romney. How old is McCain again?
>He can’t do all this on his own, even with so many of us helping.
So many isn’t enough, because they aren’t voting for him (or he would place a LITTLE better than he has).
Human years? 71.
I have no idea what that number would be in jackass years.
McCain will be 72 in a couple of months, as old as Reagan when he ran for his second term in 1984.
But here is the real math.
Not a single candidate in the Republican Primary can gather 1191 before the convention. Do the math. Not enough WTA contests, not a strong enough candidate to break the 40% barrier in a contested primary.
(Congrats to Romney for breaking 50% at the Nevada caucus today. A very strong win for him!)
Well, FDT hasn't gotten very much good press until just the past week or two, so I'm holding out for a sudden awakening of the grassroots.
Granted, its a thin reed. But, as someone once said, stranger things have happened.
McCain is somewhere around 70. I don’t think it’s age with Fred and the VP slot. If he could imagine himself doing the VP job I think he would, age aside. I just don’t think he can see himself doing that.
McCain will be 72 this spring.
