#1 Let me preface this with the statement that I'm the biggest FredHead here, and I have the political donation records and phone logs to prove it.

Fred is not running. And he will likely never run for public office again.

Right man, wrong times.

What he is doing is what he can do better than anyone out there:

Articulate the conservative cause on Winning the War, Appointing the Judges (Robersts!), Border Security, Illegals, Mexico, Gloabl Warming Hbing a hoax, less corruption (spent his career fighting it), taxes, attacking porkbarrel spending.

And thats what he is going back to, since we do not have anyone else other than Limbaugh doing it.

He is doing this to try to provide a rally point for legislators, to get the GOP out of its pork powered, corruption-filled, lack-of-leadership, inarticulate, death spiral.

Rumor has it he may get his Paul Harvey gig back as well.

My hope is not that he runs again, but that he gives a rallying point, and manages to bring McCain around *after* he wins the election by sliding to the maverick left on AGW and illeglas.

After all, we don't have anyone out now that will Win The War, Secure the Border, Appoint the Judges and Punch The Hippies.
