“It’ll take a whole lot more than a Rush endorsement to salvage Fred’s sinking ship.”
Fred never really got the boilers lit to push the ship away from the dock.
His waiting to long to get in the race did him in. Big mistake.
another analogy would be his sailboat was given a nice shove away from the docks late and even though he is a schooner of Conservative credentials there wasn’t enough wind out there by that time to snare his jib
“Fred never really got the boilers lit to push the ship away from the dock. His waiting to long to get in the race did him in. Big mistake.”
I don’t really think it was the wait. Remember how high his numbers were BEFORE he announced? True conservatives were waiting for someone they could support.
Fred’s been running his campaign from the back of the bus. This isn’t going to cut it in this day and age. You won’t win an election unless you organize a grassroots army to go house-to-house, to man phone banks, to blanket neighborhoods with literature, etc. Ed Gillespie and Ken Mehlman understood this and helped propel W to victory in 2000 and 2004. W wouldn’t have won either election without the well-organized, grassroots machine he had. Ed and Ken had every block in every precinct mapped out.
Fred’s few bus stops weren’t enough to carry the day in South Carolina, nor will they be in any other state.
I, for one, don’t think it’s too late. Remember we’ve only heard from 5 of 50 states. The MSM has marginalized Fred. He has to go to the people. Again, this means grassroots.
I’m ready for a pitchfork revolution. How ‘bout you?
