Fred’s strategy has always been to start in SC, and use that to
sweep the southern states – namely SC, Ala, Ga, Tenn, NC, Miss, LA,
Tex. By winning those he would build a good number of delegates and
have a solid shot at the nomination. That was his plan.
The monkey-wrench in that plan has become Mike Huckabee.
John McCain is not Fred’s main rival in the states Fred is targeting.
That is why Fred is not attacking him like he is Huckabee. Yes, I know
that Fred and John are close personal friends, but trust me there are
no friends in politics. If Fred needed to hurt John he would.
The simple fact is John is a non-factor in the South, as long as there
is no one else to split votes with Fred. McCain’s 25% in the polls in
SC is his HIGH POINT. He will NEVER get over 30% in any southern state.
He is maxed out. In the South, McCain is like the fart in church, there
will be a lot of noise and a lot of disgusted faces.
So, Fred
needs to get rid of the competition for the other 60%. Rudy? Not a
factor anywhere but New Yawk south, otherwise known as Florida. Mitt?
Massachusetts pretty boy – need I say more? 10-20% MAX.
That
leaves one person – Huckabee. Huck is the only obstacle to a Fred sweep
in the south, ergo HUCK MUST GO. Fred started the destruction of
Huckabee last night.
Which leads to point two: Mean old Fred Thompson picking on Huckabee. Three words about that – BOO-FRICKIN-HOO!
This is not nicey nice Iowa, or touchy feely New Hampshire. This is the
SOUTH! Home of BBQ, NASCAR, Sweet tea, and NEGATIVE CAMPAIGNING! Attack
ads and negative campaigns are not shunned in the south, they are an
ART FORM.
Thompson was campaigning to the people of South
Carolina and the entire south last night, and trust me – they lapped
that blistering attack on Huckabee up like a blue tick hound on a bowl
water on an August day in Bama.

Ironically, I was very sick yesterday. So when I got my "Fred 08" gear not only did that brighten my day, but the heavy dosage of hydrocodone made Ron Paul even funner to wacth as Fred went to slappying the Huckster around the room.
ReplyDeleteTheres nting like tripping some perscrition meds while Fred went hammertime on the Huck and Ron Paul got owned for not even listening to Hume's question.
Great article. Even better photo shop!
ReplyDelete"Up Scope!"....."Range..Mark"...."Whoa. Hold that torpedo!"
ReplyDeleteGreat analysis. The Huckster and that is exactly what he is will not be President of this country. The real hope of this nation and the Repubs lies with Fred & Mitt. All the Huckster is doing is screwing eveything up and helping the democrats.
