Fred can’t win a state so having him on the ticket now might be negative. I was all about a Thompson/Romney ticket until the results came in that Fred cannot carry the South. Too risky to have him on the ticket now.
Most of us here think Hucklebee is an unqualified, well, idiot. But 30% of our precious republican party voters, who happen to be the bedrock base, passionately want him as president.
There ought to be a lesson in there for those who think they are going to teach the republicans a lesson by not voting for whoever. The republican party, even the United States just isn’t and never has been the perfect mirror you want it to be.
I have always viewed people who don’t vote as derelict citizens. Sorry, it’s a rather obvious civics lesson that transcends even ideology.
