Not very different from the way all of DU fell for Bev Harris. And the hangover is going to be almost as much fun to watch.
Mind you, I don't dislike Fred and I would vote for him if he were the GOP candidate, but in so many ways he strikes me as Bob Dole redux.
Are you friggin' serious? Comparing Fred's candidacy to a con artist who scammed DUers out of cash for a non-existent Diebold conspiracy?
No, what's amazing is how poor the field was for conservatives that Fred managed to jump into the top 3 with little no campaigning. He's spent little to no campaign money in Iowa, but already he's number 2, where Mitt has basically bought the state for around $30 million.
New Hampshire's relevance has dwindled to nil after 2000. Bush proved that you not only don't need New Hampshire to win, you don't need New Hampshire to win big.
