WOO HOO !! Hang in there, FRED! No Johnny Boy for US!

[freedom4me]

I’m still for Fred. However; if he stays in the race, he needs to consult with the likes of Haley Barbor or Ed Gillespie for ideas to turn this around. Fred’s been running his campaign from the kitchen table or the back fo the bus, if you will. In this day and age, that’s not going to cut it. You’ve got to be able to organize a grassroots army to go house-to-house, to man phone banks, to blanket neighborhoods with literature. Ed Gillespie and Ken Mehlman (for that matter) understood this and helped propel W to victory in 2000 and 2004. W wouldn’t have won either without the well-organized machine he had.

If Fred drops out, it looks like we are going with Romney.
