Our whole country is being dragged behind the rear bumper of a station wagon with this amnesty for immigration deals.

I don’t think anything in wikipedofoolya can be considered “definitive”

Romney's saying the right things to keep that option open. I'd once thought Huckabee might be an interesting choice, but he was rather mocking in his comments on Fred joining the race. Of course, the Reagan-Bush race in the 1980 primaries was a bit contentious, so who knows?
I do like the VP speculation myself, but I'm not taking it for granted yet that Fred will be the nominee. This will not be a coronation for anyone.

Huckabee has gotten annoying now that he thinks he needs to continuously make "clever" jokes on every media appearance. I really liked him at first, but now I just want him, Brownback, Gilmore and Tommy Thompson to just go away.

I agree, though Tommy Thompson might have some value yet. Brownback was pretty weak last night, while Gilmore was his usual forgettable self.

This piece doesn't pass the smell test.
First, it is taken from an editor that is listening to 2nd, 3rd or more derived messages from 'roadshows' and then he puts it out on a blog.
The suspect snippets are here:
1. Griffin is advising Thompson on communications and message
I doubt anyone is advising FDT on 'communications and message'. I would guess that FDT will employ alot of liason gophers to gather facts, make preparations and scheduling and act as...gophers.
and
2. and will probably be a consultant to Thompson's presidential campaign.
Is this wishful thinking?
I know there will be alot of persons seeking to ride the coattails and cash in on a great candidate, but this piece seems almost relayed by Griffin himself to the author, IOW it appears self-serving.
Another 'communications' name that appears to be doing the same is Mary Matalin. I read that she would be an 'unpaid' consultant. That tells me she is climbing on the bandwagon whether invited or not.
I agree with HAL9000, we need some fresh faces that reflect the candidate. These wannabes may detract more than anything else.
