I don’t think Hunter will drop out any time in the near future. Do you think Fred supporters will be mad at Fred if he drops out after SC and endorses McCain? It was Fred’s to lose and he lost it, Romney’s to buy and he bought it. The Huckster’s huckstering is starting to wear thin, so he will be out of the picture pretty soon. Rudy had a lot of conservatives worried, but it looks like either Romney or a brokered convention. Either way the conservative cause loses a little more much as it does with every election.

The People of this Nation will vote overwhelmingly for a Conservative every time, if the People believe that candidate is an actual Conservative. The minority cooperatives make up approximately 40% of the electorate. Of course the democrats want to increase this minority. But as Former President Reagan liked to say of the minority cooperatives, "There they go again."

If the convention goes brokered, it may be an opportunity for the Conservatives. If the convention goes unbrokered, the convention may freeze out the Conservatives, then the Conservatives would definitely lose. I remain hopeful an actual Conservative will win the nomination, and the nominee will pick another Conservative as running mate. The message of those two Conservatives will be reported by the drive-by media (laugh) or Rush will help with getting the message out. I have not lost hope! But one can only anticipate the drive-bys next move. For two Conservative candidates on the Republican ticket would be the democrats and the drive-bys worst nightmare. Thus all that can be done is being done, by the democrats and drive-bys, to keep two Conservatives off the Republican ticket. Again, I still remain hopeful for a worst case nightmare for the democrats and drive-bys, with two Conservative candidates on the Republican ticket.

I appreciate your analysis, but I thought that Romney’s performance on “Meet The Press” (Russert) was absolutely pathetic. When he wasn’t waffling or weaseling, he was waltzing around the questions instead of offering straight answers. That interview moved me from uncomfortable with him to darn near hostile.

I intend to support Hunter here in Tennessee if he is still around, but Thompson is the certain winner in the primary and I would happily support him in the general election. If not Thompson, I could - reluctantly - vote for any other Republican candidate EXCEPT Ron Paul.

I don’t think any of these guys will get over 30% of the delegates in the primaries. Rudy will get the most if for no other reason he stands to win NY and NJ, and they are winner-take-all. I don’t think anybody will drop out, because the primaries will be over in a month or so, so they won’t have to worry about not raising money over several months. My money is on a brokered convention with Rudy, Mitt, Fred, Huck and McCain each having 10-30% of the delegates.

Now that you mention it, Fred just might support McCain. Or if Fred does better than expected, it might be the other way around. After all, they were in the same club, and nobody else was.
