“I’m not a FredHead, yet. There’s no doubt he’s trending down...to the MSM’s delight.
Worst case, if Rudy is elected, the MSM can spend four years talking about how the country is moving left by electing a liberal Republican who supports abortion and gay marriage.”
I was just remarking that it’s not just MSM polls that show him trending down. As to why he’s trending down, I have no idea. Maybe he waited too late to declare. The rap I’ve read on him so far is that he just doesn’t come across very well. Since I’ve only seen him in short bytes, I don’t know if that’s correct or not. That same Rasmussen Poll has Huckabee trending up.
I do. I think a lot of people are like me. They looked over the field pre-Thompson and didn't like any of the candidates much. Then the Thompson buzz started and he was kicking MM's ass on YouTube and writing good, sensible stuff at National Review and thumbing his nose at the Enemy Media and moderate R elites and we got excited.
But lately we found out he thinks federalism is a more important policy than protecting the right to life. And he wants to fix Social Security by destroying it. Even his immigration plans aren't really very good because he doesn't get to the heart of the matter.
And so it's natural that's he sliding.
