Fred! has an Intrade political futures contract for the GOP nomination:

I wonder if they’ll make a futures contract to predict the next time Hillary apes a Southern accent in front of a black audience…

Well, I’d guess that it’s Tom from MySpace, seeing as MySpace is the BIGGEST thing out there. Tom is the guy that’s everybody’s “Friend”. I assume he’s either the guy that started it and runs it…or just runs it.

As to amerpundit…I hope he’ll be as happy as we are if it happens to be FRED! If not…we love’im anyway.

tickleddragon, I have no idea – don’t know that Tom – I posted the question more or less for RightWinged to chew on, having found the Seinfeld links…

It’s a good question, though – who’s the biggest and who’d benefit Fred?

Thanks for talking to amerpundit. If Fred wins, I don’t know what we’ll do with our friend :)

Entelechy, do they mean Tom from Myspace? IF that’s who they’re talking about then yeah, I agree.

Respect to ameripundit, but he’s(?) already made his choice for Rudy, just like a large percentage of us already have for Fred! and the polling data doesn’t look good for any of the other hopefuls right now. We’re a long way out still. We’ve all got just our one vote.

Personally, I think Fred!’s got a Reaganesque appeal that will swing many Sane Democrats (and there are more than you might think out there). And as close as things are most likely to be in the next Presidental elections, a little bit is all you need to win.

amerpundit, we can always count on you to try to spoil our FRED! fun.
Geez, chill already and let us enjoy the possibilities. It won’t kill you to let one friggin’ thread pass without your Fred!seminegative commentary.
Your poo-poo’ing is just as frustrating to us supporters, as our FRED! excitement is to you.

Love you, mean it! But let us enjoy the discussions already.

McCain is not right on all the issues. His campaign reform is one problem. Also, I think a lot of peopple see McCain, and feel that he is running because he thinks it is his turn to be president. Nearly all the people running seem to have that same “I am entitled to be President, its MY turn” attitude. Most candidates seem too phony. They will say anything to be president, they will push the envelope, but when they feel any resistance they backtrack and start tossing in qualifiers.
Fred seems to be a breath of fresh air. He is a man that speaks his mind, his statements feel honest.Another point going for him is that he is NOT the most conservative of candidates. He is more “old school” conservativism. That will help draw the independants and the undecideds to his camp. Rememeber, only a fraction of America is Left and Right. The rest of us are in the middle.

Fred’s not the most conservative candidate.

It’s all relative, CW. Name the conservative, if it’s not Fred!.

Fred trying to harness bloggers’ enthusiasm

Okay, this is totally unrelated, but for whatever popped in to my head as soon as I read the post title:

Although this was sampled from a script of dialog, and turned in to one paragraph, someone should still get the reference… First one that does wins…. my respect?

Well it’s a story about love, deception, greed, lust and…unbridled enthusiasm. Well , that’s what led to Billy Mumphrey’s downfall. Billy was a simple country boy. You might say a cockeyed optimist, who got himself mixed up in the high stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue.

Why does John McCain get so few votes? I fail to understand conservatives’ recent hostility towards him. He’s right on all the issues, he’s a great American hero, he’s experienced…
Nothing against the other main candidates, including Fred!, but I would like to know what you guys think about McCain.

Maybe she should try it in the deep, sonorous baritone, like Fred! Well, maybe not.

Don’t encourage her. LOL.

Fred! may have trouble if he keeps talking in the pandering drawl the way he does………oh wait, my bad…………that’s sHillary who does that. Maybe she should try it in the deep, sonorous baritone, like Fred! Well, maybe not.

I think it’s going to be a Clinton/Obama ticket for the Dems.

I agree.

WithI had a conversation with a fairly middle-of-the-road democrat the other day who admitted he could be persuaded to vote for Fred.

see-dubya on April 30, 2007 at 7:58 PM

That’s great, but, as I keep saying, the Electoral College makes the ultimate decision. He can get all the popular votes he wants, but if he gets few electoral votes, he’s done.

I kinda hope he runs.

Actually, I already have the t-shirts ready to sell.

I do embroidery so I’ve been toying with some Thompson designs myself. Even checked out some available domain names as well.

Of course if Thompson advocated a sane drug policy I could always do “Another head for Fred”.
