Carl Cameron says it'll become offical sometime later this week.

Oh well, we're doomed. Let's hope it'll be minimal damage until 2012.

“Open primary” states like TX and SC let the person pick his party on primary day.”

TN also

When you go in they ask Republican or Democrat and then hand you the requested Ballot...

Sorry no independant or mixed...

But we’re not. However, Dr. Paul’s foreign policy still is.

Hey TN, as you have probably come across also, some didn’t want the conserviative because they didn’t want to give up their cheap illegal alien house cleaners or other illegal workers.

That is a fact...

Romney hired illegal aliens and continued to long after he was informed they were illegal...

Do we need another AMNESTY Bill fiasco ????

Just dropping by to add my post here. Haven’t wanted to deal with this news today, so haven’t read even a single post on the thread.

I am saddened if this turns out to be true, but I hope something can be resurrected from the remnants of the hopes and dreams we all had for Fred.

Best wishes to the best man for the job!

Yeah, who cares about that Constitution thing, anyway.

Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Adams were a bunch of kooks.

What portion of our Constitution prevents us from defending ourselves?

... You mean “drafted”, like Fred was?

IMO, easy. Newt Gingrich, who actually would be in a race (and walking away with it) if Fred had not run.

But... unlike Huckabee, Fred and some others, he knew from the start that it would take real money (he was looking for commitment to raise $30M)... and, he is probably one of few real conservatives with a chance to win who is most hated here on FR (he is a “whoremonger”, “Hillary sympathizer”, “bought into global warming”, “damaged”, “too much baggage”, “can’t win” etc. etc.)

Actually, I think Ron Paul (who is not a conservative) will get more votes in FR poll than Newt... but I’d be happy to be wrong and surprised if a poll like this were conducted - at the very least it could be interesting.

I will write in Fred’s name.

If the NRC wanted Fred to run, why didn’t they support him more?
