A Bitter Pill: Three Days To Work Up The Courage to Swallow It
I know some of my very good blogger friends are pulling as hard as they can for Fred Thompson to somehow pull an amazing rally from behind to win the Republican bid for the presidency. And while I can be sympathetic to the motivation, the Baseball Crank is preparing a harsh does of medicine for you. And I recommend you close your eyes and swallow it quickly.
The big question for the Freadheads after Saturday (most likely) is going to be... Who's your second choice? Feel free to chime in and let us know ahead of time if you'd care. This isn't a site that rhymes with "Lou Screwitt," so there's no pushing toward any one of the remaining candidates (though if you pick HuckaJesus prepare to be ridiculed).

I like Fred. Strategically, I'd like to see Fred win South Carolina on Saturday. Concerned as I am about his performance on the trail thus far, I would have no quarrel with Fred as the nominee.
But let's face facts. Having failed to make a dent with a late run in Iowa, Fred needs to win South Carolina, or at least finish a very close second there, to have any reason for staying in the race...
Fight on to Saturday, Fred. But if Saturday comes and goes without a major shocker, Fredheads are going to have to accept that the Big Five will have dropped to the Big Four by dawn on Sunday.

Face it, with Romney (for whom I'd hold my nose the least) you'll have a GWB III in terms of domestic agenda.
Ron Paul, despite of his federalist ideals, belongs in a straitjacket, not in the Oval Office.
The rest are even worse.
If Fred doesn't win, look for a long time to pass before we get anywhere near to conservative in this nation again.
Call it the new Diaspora, if you will.
