[Always Right]

This article is a good analysis of the situation. Without Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson in the picture, Mike Huckabee seems to be the best choice that is left.

Sorry, but Fred's supporters are mostly going to Mitt or staying home. A few with go to Huckabee, but that will be less than 20%.

[Big Red Clay]

I was a big Fred supporter. At this point I am very reluctantly switching to Mitt.

I have decided that if the party nominates McCain or Huck, I will be switching to Independent. That action (along with the myriad other slaps in the faces of conservatives that the GOP has countenanced over the past 4 years) would signal that the party is no longer a party that a conservative can, on principal, be associated with. I have come really close to switching a number of times in the past year and a half. McCain or Huck as the nominee will push me over the edge.
