Nope. You’re wrong. Fred supporters were there not because of the one-liners, or a celebrity endorsement, or because we were fed pablum disguised as conservatism. We were there because Fred was a conservative. If you can find me 5 out 100 Fred supporters who are going to Huckabee, I’ll eat my shorts.

Are those chicken and biscuit flavored?
I am with you there. I will NEVER vote for Huck.
I found it laughable that Huck blamed Fred for his loss in SC.
I found it even more laughable that people think Fred’s supporter will turn to Huck.
Not this one.
I could not agree more...Shmukabee is pure BS with some Bill Clinton sprinkled on top. Not what Thompson is... What boggles my mind is the amount of educated individuals who I've spoken with lately who have no clue who the (R) candidates even are.
My FRiend, I believe you are quite safe with that statement.
Who benefits most from Fred's departure?
I go along with the Romney bunch, here.
Not many GOP voters were choosing between Fred and Huck, however I think many were choosing between Fred and Mitt, with Fred being more easily identified with core conservative values.
Rudy and (cough, cough) McCain lack the conservative bona fides of Mitt, so Fred followers will more than likely gravitate to Mitt.
Is Mitt as conservative as most here would like? Of course not. (Health care, etc)
But right now, he's THE conservative in the GOP primary race.
I should get my primary ballot in the mail this week, and I'm leaning heavily toward Mitt.
Although I will absolutely support and vote for whomever is the winner of the GOP nomination.
I’m wit ya bro!

Find those 5 yet? I doubt it either. I was a Fred guy and my next logical choice is probably Romney.
