Which part of “Fred has NOTHING to gain by being vice-president” do you not understand?
He will go back to his nice life with his wife and children if he doesn’t become the nominee.

usually the people of NH expect a lot of one on one with the Candidate.
Have they ever expected it more than 14 months before the general election?

What does all of this really mean if we still end up with Hillary Clinton as the next POTUS? Socialism may still take over the entire U.S. for the long-term starting in January ‘09 if the majority of Republican voters and a majority of conservative voters fail to come together and vote in large enough numbers to truly prevent a socialistic U.S. from becoming a long-term reality.
To: Politicalmom
At last report, Romney had $12 million in the bank. Giuliani had more. Add them together, and Hillary still had them comfortably beat. That’s why I say it’s gotta be Giuliani and Romney. Any other combination will give us a ticket with no money.
To: Brilliant
I just dont believe hes a serious candidate for President. The only thing I can figure is that hes hoping this charade will earn him the VP nomination.
I’ll wager any amount that he is the nominee, and that is is not the VP nominee. It’s a push if he is neither. (Though I’ll wager that he goes into the convention as a candidate carrying significant numbers of delegates.)

Problem is though that if states hold early Primaries in 2007 or early 2008 and Fred isn’t in the mix for a while, he could be out before he was in and that would be Fred’s fault.

So you are advocating RINOs on a conservative website? Gutsy, I’ll give you that; especially since Jim Robinson hates Rudy Giuliani, IIRC.

Well not sure when they expect the boots on the ground but Jan is just around the corner..... But if Fred announces in Sept then he has only 4 months to get the state organized and meet and greet the folks..... Fred may want to do it at his pace but others that count [the voters] may want it at another pace. Who knows but Fred has things working in his favor at the moment.

Giuliani is better than Hillary, which in my opinion is what we’re going to end up with unless we throw our strongest candidate at her. At this point, Fred has not proved that it’s him.
To: Brilliant
they are thousands like me that are just waiting to support somebody.....not big bucks but enough to be impressive as a group.......
I have no doubt that FT will pick up a large number of "entertainment" dollars as well as athletic dollars....
Aunt Hill has basically promised tax increases and attacks against banks and lending operations, so there will be a number of business people in the mix too....

Romney has nearly $9 million in debt according to yesterday’s Human Events article, meaning he has three million left.
When Fred announces, he will have no problem with fund raising.

Romney only has three million dollars left.
That’s if you take away his debt balance that is shown. But that debt [or most of it] is a loan from himself isn’t it?. I maybe wrong about that but for some reason I think it’s a peresonal loan.

The debt is probably to himself, though.

You may consider Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani to be "RINOs" but when you compare them to Shrillary, Obama, Kucinich and, dare I say, Ron Paul, they ARE Conservative.
To: Brilliant
No one's buying your BS, pal.
I wouldn't vote for Giuliani if you paid me. (La la la, I don't care if Hillary's elected la la la)
To: Brilliant
Neither Romney or Giuliani has a message, though. Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter, and even Ron Paul have a solid conservative message.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Of the 3 you mentioned, the only one that even has an outside chance of winning is Thompson, but he’s squandering it.
