That's some serious electoral college numbers.<BR/><BR/>The only issue is whether or not his religion will lose him some southern states. Give him the right running mate to retain the South and it would be hard to beat him.<BR/><BR/>Now, since I like Fred so much more anyway, howsabout a Thompson/Romney ticket? If he could still pull in MI and MA as a VP, Fred would easily retain southern states and whammo- the Repubs stay in the white house.GunGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217451122521161867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-6477855628204699162007-12-24T11:25:00.000-05:002007-12-24T11:25:00.000-05:00Every election the Donks search the country and be...Every election the Donks search the country and beat the bushes to come up with a candidate fresh from the barricades at the winter palace, for whom no one the the right of Fidel Castro would voluntarily vote.<BR/><BR/>Every election the Reps check the seniority list of the nearly retired, and find some colorless apparatchik <BR/>whose charisma has long since been surgically removed to oppose.<BR/><BR/>I am almost convinced that neither party, seeing what they would inherit, actually wants to win.<BR/>Almost.

(Well, mostly... the positions he holds that make me want to puke are mostly ones where I think his chances of getting his way are slim and none.)<BR/><BR/>Of the ones that people are actually aware of, I lean Fredwards. He's not a RINO, he doesn't flip-flop like a fish on a deck, and like others have said, he actually has the charisma to carry a general election. He's got that "national Dad" thing going.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't make any bets on who's actually going to be the candidate.

This sort of 7th grade tattle-taling is pretty normal for a wide open primary.
