I agree. But he also needs to get after McQueeg if it is not already to late. So far all of his exposing for the most part has been against Huckabee.
Sounds like a good strategy to me. Fred knows that McCain won't be as popular in the rest of the South, but Huckabee would be. He needs to expose Huckabee's liberal bent so that he can knock down some of his support before the SC primary. After Huckabee has been taken down a few notches, he can go back to McCain.
Those that have been deluded into voting for Mikey, if they would open their eyes., would find the guy they most line up with is Fred. Thus Fred trying to peel away voters mainly from Mikey’s camp versus any other candidate.
Those that support McLame, are the moderate and liberal factions of the party and would probably not align with Thompson. They would probably go with Rudy.
This is also the reason I don’t think Fred goes after McLame as fervently as Suckabee. I don’t buy into the “Fred has a back room deal with McLame” theory.
