New Hampshire voters have spoken, the presidential battleground moves to Michigan, South Carolina and Florida. As other surveys have found, the Insider Advantage firm released new polls late Tuesday showing Mike Huckabee ahead in South Carolina and Rudy Giuliani leading in Florida.

I’ll try... I’ll try... and your points on McCain are well noted. Plus he reminds of me Francis in “Stripes”, but I really hope Fred will get things rolling in South Carolina.

As for watching Hillary and Obama beating up on each other, yes that’s fun, but its more important for us to get our brown organic matter in one sock soon.

I think we should continue to obsess about these polls and direct our conversations around them and not find any other way to garner information and think about what’s going on. No, really, we’re not being manipulated, right?

Isn't that the truth! If this is how we (the collective we) choose our nominee, then we DESERVE what we get in the end! I am so frustrated by this sheeple behavior.

Good grief.

you’re not the only one with that hope. From the jump there’ve been only two worthy of my vote-Thompson and Hunter. If worst came to worst I could hold my nose and vote for Romney in the Fall. Waterboading couldn’t make me vote for McCain or Huckabee.

McCain has given years of his life and years in the Hanoi Hilton to our country...and for that he must be commended. But, other than that, he is a failure as a United States Senator in light of the egregious abridgement of our first amendement rights and his antipathy to border security.

Yes, I agree, our candidates must get their proverbial manure aligned.

Huck will NOT win SC! Bank on it.”

riiiiight....

I don’t like Huck.

But I don’t think it’s hardly a lock that he will fail to win in SC. He’s pretty doggone strong there right now. Something has to change pretty darn fast and pretty darn dramatic for him to lose. But...it “could” be true that you know something more than everyone else, that elusive insider’s knowledge, and that your drop dead certainty is on a firm foundation....

If Fred doesn’t WIN SC he should drop out.

So far, the “real conservatives” haven’t done too well.

I am not sure I want to go that far, but you may be right.

This is the South. Where by all indications, he should be the strongest. If he can’t win in the heart of Dixie, he’s toast (or biscuits and gravy, if you prefer).

I wish he was biscuits and gravy. He came in on a last minute busride, snagged 3rd place, but left McCain in good shape for NH, where he was nonexistant. Now he’s not expected to be a factor in Michegan, is he? So if he then loses South Carolina, what’s a voter to think? He’s going to miraculously clean up on Super Tuesday? South Carolina is THE south. If Fred can’t win there, what’s the point?

I haven’t seen mention of Rudy’s tax plan? Any comments on it?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

LOL.

Nice attempt to set the “rule” for Mr. Thompson, but I think he is fully capable of making any decision about dropping out.

Hmmmm, I'm trying to remember ..... should your post have an obligatory "Fred's my number 1 pick, and I've donated to his campaign, but .......".

I realize that this is perhaps not the deepest comment that I can make, but... I just simply cannot believe how out of touch I must be with the American people when I think how imminently electable Fred is — and yet, I seem to be (along with some of you guys) the only man in the world to think so. Oh well, I’m a freak, I guess.

I know how you feel. I just don’t understand what is happening to this party and this country. It is quite depressing. Pretty soon there won’t be any room for conservatives, only less liberal liberals.

Rudy should win inFL/ FL is to NY what NH is to Mass. 2nd homes and they often vote both places.I am sick of polls, sick of pollsters, even sick of Britt Hume special report--he has too many drips on. If he could get Michael Barone for a regular and get rid of Fred and his side kick, it would be a better program.

Whew..Those charts...You mean to tell me that Huck is leading in SC and Florida and Julie Annie is fading with Romney holding 3rd ?.....too much....i just don’t know what to make of these polls anymore..I think that with the flow of information being as fast as it is in these Internet days that voters are switching and making up their minds on the day of the primary based on what they last saw on tv or read in the MSM or Internet....even the people actually voting seem very condused...

Thats only south Florida you are talking about. The northern half of the state are not going to vote for ANYTHING from the northeast. That includes both Rudy and Mitt.

It is a shock, but average people aren't on FR. We're political junkies. The great unwashed masses vote for who they like best based on very little information. I think that explains Huck's rise in places like MI. To most FReepers he is satan based on his record, but the masses see a smart friendly guy who is a good communicator. Fred, I think is our version of Hillary (not in any other way of course)in that he comes across as a policy wonk and is surprisingly boring to listen too. Huck is our Obama. Maybe not much substance, but is the more personally likeable alternative.
