We all knew this would be an unconventional campaign, with no incumbents, but this thing is all over the place.
As a Rudy supporter (I know, I know) I am still hinging hope on the "big State" dominance, but to tell the truth if he loses Florida, I think that may sink him.
The problem I see with Fred is the fact that he really does not lead in any state. Of course that could change based on momentum, but Mitt really seems to be in the drivers seat if we go based on past performances of Primaries. He has the lead in Iowa, NH, and depending on the polls 2-3 more early states. He has the money, and the organization. Early "rumors" are that Huck and Fred have neither. McCain could also be a "wild" card.
I, personally, LOVE Fred on the issues, so I would be very happy if he becomes the President. This is no slam to you or any of his supporters, but to tell the truth his campaign scares the heck out of me, and that is the only reason I am not backing him.
Call me pathetic, or whatever, but I want to win, and although Fred is showing some sparks lately, I am just a tried and true believer that appearance, and style matter. I just don't know that he has it. If he does, more power to him, and to his supporters who have stuck by him, but his organization stinks, and I just can't see him winning. Sorry.
My first priority is to win the general election, because regardless of how good anyones ideas are, they must be elected first.
Be honest, I can’t argue with your logic.
I guess I just have more faith in Fred’s style, if not his overall team.
That’s fair I guess, but keep an open mind if that’s how you feel. I think a lot of people are in for some surprises in the coming weeks.
If Rudy has a poor showing in New Hampshire his chances of winning the nomination are just about over. He is unlikely to win Iowa and South Carolina. If he can not win in New Hampshire, other than the winner take all States of New York, Connecticut and Delaware, where else can he win.
