Whatever the exact opposite of momentum is, that is what Fred has right now.

I didn’t write that crap. Novak’s credibility died when Rowland Evans did.
It reminds me of how Wesley Clark was going to parachute in and get the Dem nomination in 2004, in November 2003. There was supposedly all this Dem support for him that would sweep him in, if only he'd run. It turns out the reason he wasn't already in was because he didn't really want the job and wasn't good at political campaigning, like Fred.
These last minute bids are always big failures.
Inertia.
