Uh, no.
Fred runs a lame campaign: check
Fred drops out before Super Tuesday: check
Fred endorses McCain: check
It was clear to anyone with eyes open, as i said at the time, that Fred was destined for failure. It was clear conservatives needed to bet on another horse. But the fredheads wouldn't listen.

I strongly suggest you McCain supporters might want to quit singing the Cult of Personality song in praise of McCain. People here know his real record. Chanting slogans about how great McCain is isnt going to sell with Freepers. We know better. We know his political record.
Being spun to belive in a McCain we know has never existed does not convince us to support him, it angers us because we know we are being lied to.
Right now McCain supporters best tactic is to simply post what the Democrat candidates are saying on any issue that pisses Conservatives off. Your only hope is that the Democrats manage to scare Conservatives more then McCain pisses them off.
I have no doubt most Conservatives will be scared into supporting McCain in Nov by the Democrats. Simply saying Well they are worse or McCain is really a great Conservative isnt going to work. We know better. We know McCains real record.
What I suggest is McCain supporters simply post what the Democrats Candidates are saying on what ever issues the person angry at McCain is posting about. If they are mad about taxes, post what Obama and Hillary plans are on taxes. Mad on immigration post their immigration plan.
The Democrats themselves are your best chance of changing peoples minds about McCain. Telling us what a great guy he is isnt going to sell to Feepers. We know his real record on things like Iraq. His real record differs quite a bit from the air brushed one presented by his campaign
I personally think it is a waste of time. I think McCains record has so poisoned the well that McCain supporters are wasting their time. However, if McCainiacs are going to keep spaming the board with McCain ads, they might at well at least TRY to be effective, rather then merely annoying.
