I highly doubt he's bailing anytime before mid-February.
If Romney wins , we all lose ....

I think he would support McCain, because they’ve been friends for a long time. When Tanc dropped, he surprised his followers. It looked like it was because Tanc wants to further his political career. My read on Fred is that if this doesn’t work for him, he’ll go back to Hollywood rather than politics.
Hunter has no such stake in the ground in Iowa. He could surprise us all.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

Why the smart money is on Duncan Hunter

In this poll Hunter is up 3% and even with Paul and Thompson.

Or visa versa, when the Bush family gets firmly behind Fred, and Mitt can go back to hedge funds and illegal alien lawn mowers...
They deserted Katherine Harris like she was dirt for her position on that and they will do the same to Fred or Hunter.
Jeb is no different. If they are going to support Mitt then they already know that he will not push to seal the borders or eject illegals.
Will you join me?
I have to correct myself...heres the poll Thompsons in third.
I’ve always been one to oppose such moves, although I must say Romney is scary .
I think Romney is most likely to replicate the Klinton style of Governance , which I once though impossible .
I have not yet decided to sit it out , but am entertaining the idea for the first time ever .
I certainly will. I've NEVER thought of a third party vote in the past and my old profile page will certainly verify that if you look. In this case if Mitt or Rudy or Huck are the nominee then I will vote third party. I refuse to vote for liberals.
“Based on this and an earlier quote that he doesn’t really want the job methinks he is getting ready to bail. If so, who would he support? McCain?”
It’s only a guess, but my guess is that he would endorse McCain. Wonder what the FR opinion of him would be then.
> Based on this and an earlier quote that he doesn’t really want the job methinks he is getting ready to bail. If so, who would he support? McCain? <
A McQueeg endorsement would seem logical since Fred was the Captain’s campaign manager in 2000, and since he was a co-sponsor of McQueeg’s campaign finance “reform” bill.
But logic doesn’t always work in such matters. For example, by what logic could have one predicted that Tancredo would withdraw so soon and then endorse Romney?
He’s got my vote in NH, no matter what he decides.

Do us a favor. Stay in Tokyo
Perhaps a nice relaxing vacation would clear your thought process?
Yes. But he has to be more careful with his words, IMO.
CBS knows that the popular culture votes by sound bites. So the message they send is: "The extent of Freds ambition is to be an also-ran or runner-up... loser".
Not sure what I'll do, but I can hardly blame you for that...
