Fred fizzled. He's fumbled ever since he announced. And tonight he fizzled and flopped. He needed to come out with a real bang to sustain the inexplicable (hysterical?) Fredneck frenzy to show people he's got what it takes or at least 3/4 of what they say he's got and he didn't do it.

It's got to be between Rudy or Romney, and it might as well be Romney. There are lots of reasons why Romney should take it over Rudy. But just peripherally, he's got more experience, better looking hair and a classier wife. And no lisp.
