Ummm ... jellybean, ... I've tried that out with my wife and it's not working all that great. What should I do now?
He IS expected to visit Florida. The illness of his mother has resulted in his going home to TN to visit her in the hospital. The last I heard was that he was expected in Florida on Tuesday. This may be outdated information; I have not heard anything to the contrary. REC meeting is on tomorrow night and perhaps I will find out more details then.
Hubby and I did the early voting on Saturday. Fred got two votes in Jacksonville, Florida.
I am also doing phone calls to chase any absentee ballots. I have done part of Duval county and am half way through Clay county.
I certainly am not giving up; no matter how many people hang up on me or cuss me out. I am still going to chase down those absentee ballots still uncast. There are still people out there that are undecided or who have just forgotten to send those ballots in.
GO FRED GO!!!
Tell her she's the most fascinating creature you've ever met and your life would be nothing without her! Then do what Winston Churchill did...go smoke a cigar and have a glass of brandy. :D
“I’m tired of hearing who Thompson hurts if he stays in...”
Who cares who he hurts? What you should care about is who he’s helping.
I think Fred is hurting himself by staying in too long. He reminds me of a boxer that just hates to hang up the gloves.
I was a Tancredo supporter and I think he did us all a favor by being realistic about his chances. He moved the illegal alien debate to the forefront of national politics and when he saw he could not win he threw his support where he thought it would do the most good. Tancredo is a classy guy and a true patriot.
Nothing would RINO’s happier.

Duncan Hunter has officially dropped out today. Fred Thompson, who staked his ground in South Carolina but ended up way short of Huckabee and a distant third, is a press release away from the same. The pundits are casting aspersions on Rudy Guiliani’s lifeless corpse of a campaign, which has shown no sign of life in the first 6 primaries; Florida is make-or-break for him; even Ron Paul has won more votes than Rudy. The media is unofficially calling Huckabee dead, as he was unable to parlay his Iowa win into anything but 2nd and 3rd place showings since, including the most evangelical state in the nation, South Carolina. His runner-up speech was defiant in his promise to his flock to keep on marching, but where will he win?
...
So it is down to Romney v McCain for the nomination. McCain is the favorite. The rest of the candidates have no hope of gaining the nomination at this time.
“I agree, Fred needs to soldier on.”
OK. So he peels off 10% of the conservative vote, and McCain runs up wins in all the WTA states with independents and moderates and conservatives split Huck, Fred, Romney ...
What thank you does McCain give Thompson for that?
I think Huckabee is the stalking horse for McCain and he is holding Conservatives who want to vote for Fred [the real conservative] hostage by making them feel guilty if they don’t vote for “the nice talking pastor guy” so that McCain will get the nomination. Fortunately, I think his followers will realize soon that their faith and faith in Huckabee are not and should not be related.
I hope they see through him soon enough to knock him out!
