The talk radio candidate

I don't know why I did this but this afternoon I ended up listening to Rush for 5-10 minutes. Basically he was attacking McCain and then when he got done attacked Huckabee. It got me wondering who Rush was going to support for President, then he said it would be better to lose supporting the right candidate because it would get the Republican party a better image. What a bullshit answer.

So who is talk radio going to come out and support, Fred Thompson maybe

Yes, Fred Thompson. Almost every blogger has already endorsed him, Human Events has endorsed him, right to life has endorsed him, and Limbaugh has all but endorsed him. He's not said anything negative about him.

Once Rush et al come out and endorse Thompson, it's gonna push him to the lead. They are waiting for the right moment though...patience is a virtue.

Thompson is pretty much done after he loses in South Carolina, but I imagine he'll be on McCain's short list for VP spot

What do you mean by losing? Second place? Third place? Last place? Clinton didn't win until Georgia, why should anyone quit after not 'winning' the first few states?

He's just raised over a million dollars in the past 2 days. He has plenty to keep going.

That's the general consensus out there among the folks who have been watching his campaign

I don't think he'll win SC, I think he'd be lucky to come in 3rd, but that's not going to get him a boost in the other states that he needs for Super Tuesday

Professional bloggers.. yes. Most conservative blogs endorse Thompson and dislike Paul. They don't see Paul as a true conservative. Paul has a lot of support by internet users, but the people who run the major conservative blogs tend to overwhelmingly support Thompson.

3) That Republicans are waiting for the right time

or

4) That patience is a virtue?

Why is my opinion garbage?
