Outlook Through Super Tuesday: More Prognostication, for What It’s Worth.
24 January 2008It seems the race for the Republican nomination is in some disarray. Some pundits are predicting a brokered convention. Some Fred heads are talking write in votes in an attempt to force a brokered convention. What are the likely scenarios through Super Tuesday?
Giuliani had a solid lead in Florida before the early primaries. Some polls [...]
McCain Wins South Carolina
19 January 2008I don’t mind saying I’m disappointed. I’ve had harsh words for John McCain and my opinion has not changed. I really thought South Carolinians would not be fooled by him but I was wrong. Of course, independents are what pushed McCain over the top. If you didn’t know, South Carolina has open primaries, something I’ve [...]
Romney Finally Wins One
15 January 2008As soon as the polls closed in Michigan FOX News declared Romney the winner in the Republican primary. As the votes continue to be counted Romney’s lead continues to increase. When FOX News called it the lead was six points. As I write this that lead has expanded to nine percent over McCain. The question [...]
Looking Toward the South Carolina Primary
13 January 2008The South Carolina primary is a week away and at present Huckabee is projected to win here. Thompson, however, had a very good night in the debate on FOX News Thursday and McCain is pulling out all the stops to prevent a repeat of 2000. What is the likely outcome?

Republican Presidential Forum
6 January 2008I vastly prefer the format of the Republican Presidential Forum tonight vs. the standard debates. Issues are dealt with on a much deeper basis and the candidates have the opportunity to actually answer question in depth. Tonight was outstanding. Chris Wallace was relentless in seeking answers to the questions he asked and he was equally [...]
Early Iowa Observations
3 January 2008It’s late on caucus night and I’m about to go to bed. I’ll have more to say tomorrow but I didn’t want to close the evening without a few comments about the Iowa caucus and my predictions.
I nailed Huckabee. He won with a significant margin. I was off on Romney and McCain. McCain didn’t get [...]
Iowa Caucus Predictions
2 January 2008To voters in primary states the Iowa Caucus is not well understood. That’s because a caucus doesn’t work the way a primary works. In a primary everyone comes out and votes for their candidate and the one with the most votes wins. In some states if no one gets a majority of votes there may [...]
I’ve Made Up My Mind
21 October 2007back in June I wrote a post about Mike Huckabee. In that post I talked about seeing Mike Huckabee in person and listening to him make his points and field questions. I was impressed with Huckabee then and really wanted to support him but I really didn’t think he had a chance so I was [...]

ImWithFred.com Gets a Facelift
7 August 2007Supporters of Fred Thompson for President are, understandably, growing impatient and concerned that there has, to date, been no official announcement. Few doubt that Thompson is going to run but any potential announcement date remains shrouded in mystery.
In an apparent effort to maintain support and enthusiasm Thompson has revamped his web site, ImWithFred.com. Emails went [...]
