I just don't see FL as a great indicator of anything. The voting is well underway there already. Giuliani well do well there.

I just don't think Huckleberry is an issue. He will not get enough delegates. There are too many states where his travelin' salvation show just won't fly.

Don't know about Romney. He seems to spend so much and campaign so long and get so little in return.

McCain could be a danger, but there is no need to cede anything to him until states where Republicans choose the Republican candidate are heard from.

I'm am very disappointed with FDT showing in SC, but I by no means think his candidacy is dead.

The snake handler muddied the waters in SC but he can't hang on.

FDT supporters need to hang in at least through 02/05. What's wrong with us if we just throw him under the bus now?

This primary schedule is an abomination that lends itself to actual media interference with the process by basically allowing them to be the voice of the campaign because it's not possible for candidates to spend any real time in so many places in such a compressed time frame. People need to hear from the candidates and know their positions in a time frame which is in proximity to the time of the elections.

Perhaps FDT won't prevail but I will not abandon him so early in this blighted process. The stakes are too high.

Neither McCain nor Romney can beat Clinton. She will be the nominee. Obama is just a media sideshow to create imagined conflict.

For all the talk about McCain bringing independents, he will not get the support of the Republican base. He's another Bob Dole, only less honorable.

Good chance Thompson can't beat Clinton either, given what appears to be his ineffective campaign style, so far. But there is a chance he ill rise to the occasion. He is an honorable man and I would rather fight and lose by his side than embrace the mediocrity or outright dishonor of the other options.

“Don’t know about Romney. He seems to spend so much and campaign so long and get so little in return.”

Huh? He has the most delegates, by a far margin. He want from an unknown to a three-time winner and current leader.

At this point, it is not a matter of FDT supporters hanging on. It is a matter of FDT deciding if he is going to hang on.
