So, now what? There was always a bit of wishful thinking among Fred's supporters. We could see the weaknesses. But, there was also improvement as the days went by, enough to keep hope alive. Now, suddenly, nothing. Now, suddenly, there is no bona fide conservative candidate in the race for the Republican nomination. We've been here before, before we were spoiled by Ronald Reagan. What to do?

As for this Fredhead, I'd vote for a dead cat before I'd vote for John McCain. We all know why, so I won't write a thesis. Huckabee? Hardly. Identity politics doesn't begin to address his shortcomings. I'm about convinced he's the Clinton plant of all time. That leaves us with Mitt and Rudy. Mitt's OK, but the Dems will have him for breakfast, and lunch, too, in the general. Which leaves, Rudy. Which means, Florida. Which means I'm back where I was in the beginning of this mess.

The reality is, in this cycle, conservative Republicans are going to have to live with the lesser evil. We should be used to that, it's just been awhile. It won't be as bad this time, really it won't, as long as we win, that is. But, it sure is annoying to watch the Clintons work their will again. What is wrong with those people? Never mind, I already know.

So, choose your lesser evil. Mine's Rudy. But, in November, don't stay at home fussing and fuming about our nominee (OK, if McCain gets the nomination, IF, I'll hold my nose and vote for him). Four or eight years of the Clintons is not worth it.
