“Fred was incoherent on the Laura show. His speeches have been boring. Those are facts. He can still get the nomination but so far his responses have been less than endearing and I am not a George Will fan. Fred is not the second coming of Reagan. He looks twice as old as he should for the race. Those things being what they are Fred needs a crisp message that can de-throne Guiliani. His message has to resonate with the base. To have Fred connected to McCain Feingold does not exactly get my juices flowing. I wish Huckabee or Hunter had a chance to unseat Ghouliani, but they don’t. It is entirely up to Fred to harvest his percentages at the ballot box otherwise we get the RINO Ghouliani.”
Or it could be worse ...
FredT is good enough to beat RINO Rudy but not good enough to beat Hillary (shades of ‘96 again). Then we get the nightmare
I hope it aint so. I hope Fred gets on his game.
At 28% to 20% Fed v Rudy, the writing is on the wall.
The GOP base just needed an acceptable alternative and Fred may be it. But acceptable doesnt cut it... in 2008 we face the relentless onslaught of the well-honed clinton slime machine. We need an *excellent* and energetic campaign that gets America on the Republican side.
My worry too is that Fred will get the nomination then turn into Bob Dole. He just looks old and tired.
