I too am a FredHead, and I’m quite distressed that he dropped out. I find myself without a candidate, and I will likely follow your example.
I have to take some issue with your comment on Huckabee, however. I’m a very conservative Christian, one of those “fundamentalists” you hear about. I definitely think ideology and values are crucial, and that was one reason I was for Thompson. But Huckabee’s self-conscious and self-serving religiosity does not appeal to me at all. I don’t trust him. He seems fake to me, in a TV evangelist way. And I find the “push her Christian button and she’ll vote for you” attitude demeaning. All of that is completely aside from his political philosophy, which as far as I can see is more Clinton than Reagan.
In fact, it sadly seems that this election year, the options are Democrat or Democrat-Lite. That’s a difficult fact to swallow.
