How Can Fred Win

JB Williams at the National Ledger has written an article postulating that the race will come down to Mitt and Fred--and he gives his rationale. He feels that Tancredo, Hunter and McCain will all have to drop out (Tancredo likely today) and will all throw their support behind Fred. My only concern about this scenario is timing. A Tancredo endorsement today would be a great start.

I think that the biggest endorsement would be the McCain endorsement. But when would that happen? If McCain wins New Hampshire, he will be in the race at least through Super Tuesday, and probably much longer. That is probably also true if he comes in second. But if he ends up third--he may get out immediately.

I think it is very probable that we only have two or three candidates that are viable going into Super Tuesday. My hope is that Hunter and McCain will drop out before then and throw their support behind Fred. If so, then we have a very nice chance of winning this race.
