GOT to keep the Conservative message alive in this campaign.

Thompson/Hunter, Hunter/Thompson – take your pick.

As our resident Fred-hater, csdeven, said last night, how’s he going to negotiate the little matter of the Michigan primary on the 15th?

AP,

As much as I think the Michigan primary matters also, part of the post you reference had a factual error. The Nevada primary is after SC. So Fred has NH, Wyoming, and Michigan, before SC. NH he will not do well. Wyoming he might, and Michigan he is weak.

It was the dem primary that is after Nevada. Sorry for the error.

i was thinking about all that ‘fire in the belly’ shite….& I realized that I would rather have a candidate w/ fire in the pants….

Wasn’t that CLINTON????

I don’t care if Fred! took a page out of the Gipper’s playbook, it is refreshing to hear what he had to say. On my way to donate.

Given that every news organization on the planet (and several off the planet) re-ran the Politico lies, how would Fred have done if you take away the Politco hits?

Seriously: take away the silly hat rule hit piece and the “Fred is dropping out” piece, and what effect would it have had? Or would it have had an effect?

Crack Whores Run The Politico
By Erick

“Chants of ‘Fred’ sound forced” Not on the video, just what’s reported at Politico again I guess.

“And we’ll have to look a the final numbers; and we’ll have to look at the money situation…”

That’s from the video, misquoted at Politico.

You know, Politico really needs to restrict themselves to reporting on events that don’t have video capture; or the ability to go to a person and ask them directly if the “anonymous source” was accurate. Maybe Horoscopes and Hollywood insider gossip would fit their reporting style and accuracy better… Because they’re reporting accuracy at Politico seems somewhere around the accuracy of IMAO or the Onion recently.

Seriously Allah, is it worth linking to Politico when the stories linked have been wrong in a significant or relevant manner most of the time over the past month?

How was that for fire in the belly?

you know….i was thinking about all that ‘fire in the belly’ shite….& I realized that I would rather have a candidate w/ fire in the pants….
I give you the Candidate w/ ‘the most gorgeous 1st woman eva!’ OK????!
I will not submit!!! & to those who say Fred is blah blah bla blahblah…..“it ain’t ova ’till it’s OVA!!!”
GO FRED!!!!

how’s he going to negotiate the little matter of the Michigan primary on the 15th?

Michigan does not matter unless the media makes it matter. How profitable will it bo to the networks to put Michigan into the spotlight? It won’t and they will largely leave it alone. The money from ratings is to be made from Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.

Heck a loss for Romney would be the story coming out of that state, not what happens to Fred. Fred has not campaigned there, no candidate has done much campaigning there.

South Carolina picks the nominee/

Inferno spotted!

Fred!

Um…according to these figures, he’s got more cash to play with than McCain. He’s also raised more than Rudy or Huck (yeah, Huck, the frontrunner). So if money is all that is needed to get elected, how come Huck is the frontrunner?

If those numbers are right, money is one of the least of Fred’s worries.

Go Fred!

Sorry, I didn’t see that one last night. Good on ya.

SC is going to go to Edwards and Thompson. Huck had his day in Iowa, and it’s going to be one of the few. We’re gonna start seeing Romney do well, and Fred’s going to have to maintain his new crazy schedule to give Romney clear competition. I think he can do it, and I think if he can take SC without it being too tight, it’ll be just the boost he needs for the long haul.

FRED!

It doesn’t count for much in electoral votes but it’s still a primary win and, so, a state under one’s belt. Has anyone been to Wyoming — it’s primary is 1/5? I’d bet ya whoever sets foot in the state, even for half a day, would win it.

Dusty on January 4, 2008 at 10:42 AM

Yup. Like I said last night, Fred should schedule a presser in Casper, than a quick stop in Jackson. It would be that easy. And don’t forget the cowboy hat!

Plus, he has Liz Cheney working for him there already

“Some candidates are personally dropping into the state for visits, including Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, Duncan Hunter, Sam Brownback, Ron Paul and – before he dropped out of the race Thursday – Tom Tancredo, he said. “

Win or place and he’s on the upswing? Go Fred!

Next comes Mich. Which is Romney country.

Then South Carolina where Fred has an organization.

Question is, will he have the money to hold out until South Carolina?

(like the all seeing eye of Sauron)

Lexington and Richland County in SC are loaded with Paul and McCain signs. Fred usually has one and it’s surrounded. Huck and Mitt are in there too, but I’d rank it Paul, McCain, Fred, Huck, Mitt.

Just what I’ve seen recently…I’m writting an article for Politico about how Paul will obviously win the SC primary. Fox news will give me an exclusive.
