Judgmentalism invades the writing of most writers including myself. We have to write. Therefore we have to have words that judge others. Thompson has the best policies and the best vision for the future but so many people want to judge not that but his 'campaign'. The Clinton's run a good campaign. So what. They have a war room and do whatever it takes to win. I'm not inspired by anybody in this field except Thompson. His views are my views. I love how he answers reporters and moderators in the debate. He is full of common sense. My least likeables are McCain and Huckabee. I'd rather Romney and/or Guliani win. And why? <strong>Not because Guliani or Romney ran good campaigns but because they are the next best on the issues to me....</strong> And that's what should matter... About Fred.

What a craptastic campaign. Will Huckabee be VP choice? Media being superextracareful calling the races this time . . . better than the other way. Somebody's gonna have to explain to me how Obama ends up with one more delegate than Hillary, although the mediots claim Hillary has "won" Nevada. On second thought, never mind. Say--Who was that Zombie reported being seen in Florida? Oh wait! That was Rudy. I have no idea what Der Olbermench and Tweety had to say about the GOP candidates--they're unwatchable. If I'm the MSNBC line producer, I take the coffee machine out of their studio. CNN's John King brings great analysis to where the vote's coming from in various counties. But Bill Bennett looks like a tired computer riding home to Lawn Guyland on a 2:30 a.m. train from Penn Station. Fox has the best graphix, and their panel is so familiar with each other it's like watching a family dinner. I don't know about you guys, but I'll start focussing on the delegate count after Feb. 5. /:) Say goodnight, Fred. What a craptastic campaign.

I would not be surprised to see Romney get the nod. Paul finished fifth with 4% of the vote in SC. While he did better in Nevada, he only got 13% of the vote - nowhere near what Romney won. The Ronulans will rejoice about Nevada, but they need to put down the Kool-Aid and start to sober up. If Paul did so poorly in a libertarian-friendly state like Nevada, where do they think that he <i>can</i> win? So far Paul's performance has been nowhere near what the hype has predicted.

GREAT Coverage SISTER,

Will Fred stay in to help his close Friend, John McCain?

Does his presence strip votes away from others who would otherwise select a more conservative offering than McCain?

Is it a problem, for the Man who is perceived as the ‘true conservative’, to endorse the liberal placation of Senator McCain?

Fred seems to be able to hurt Rudy or Romney…

And it will be curious…

His campaign rested on Southern wins and SC was the key test if that strategy was going to work out. He's been in single digits in SC since early Jan - he won't continue - or at least shouldn't. Even if he did win there wasn't a lot of hope. I like the guy but he should drop out with dignity.
