The drive by media are afraid of Fred. They know he is the only Republican who can beat Hillary. Don’t believe what you hear in the media, Fred will win. Remember, most American’s are not even paying attention yet. Let him do a couple of debates and I think Fred will bury Rudy in the polls. The media is pushing Rudy on us because they think we have forgotten what happened in the NY Senate race, Hillary was creaming Rudy. I know he dropped out due to his “health” but the fact is he was going to lose. The media remembers this and are betting on it.
If Rudy wins, I will vote 3rd party in ‘08. I would LOVE to see the Rs nominate someone like Tancredo or Hunter but would still be ok with a Thompson. I just pray we end up with a strong economic conservative in ‘08 and I hope Bush continues his new found economic conservatism for the remainder of his term.
