McCain is tied with Huckabee. Huckabee draws from Fred. McCain is living off name recognition. Huckabee is the easiest target.

If Fred begins rising in the next couple of polls and Huck drops, you will see Fred start going after McCain.

My sense is that McCains support is weak and if Fred shows he's in it to win it he will siphon votes from McCain anyway.

Fred is in this to beat Mitt too. If Mitt can beat McCain in Michigan I think it weakens McCain in SC. Fred must be the one to get those votes, not Huckabee.

I appreciate that you have posted strategic analysis rather than attacks on the character or motivations of the candidates or their supporters. Well done.

What a fight we are having. I don’t remember ever seeing a primary like this before. I just hope that while we are doing this all we are not enabling the Hildabeast. But I guess there is no way to avoid it. All I can do is pray that Obama continue to give Hillary a hard time and not just let her skate to the convention.
