Fringe Candidates
Everybody has there own idea of who is a fringe candidate. I will one day be a fringe candidate. Remember a vote for Chef is a vote for beer. Josh believes Ron Paul and Rudy Guiliani are fringe candidates. I have to say both are pretty fringe. The republican party in New Hampshire might disagree. Fox news is OK with Rudy but not Paul.
I want to talk about the candidates that finish below write-in. It seems Fred Thompson and Alan Keyes are not fringe if they can get in to the Debates in Iowa with the Republican Party's blessing.
Now lets talk about the ones on the ballet and still running that you may have heard of. Duncan Hunter a current congressman. Fred Thompson a creature from the white lagoon. Alan Keyes professional black republican.
On the Democratic side the only fringe candidate left that you may have heard of is Tom Laughlin. You know Billy Jack. He has never been given credibility by the democratic party or the media.
It is getting late and none of the republican fringe candidates are going to get anywhere near Tom's highest total in New Hampshire. In 1992 he got 3,251(2%) votes without any media support. Without any party support. This year well he is at 0%. Keyes 0%, Hunter 0%, Thompson 1%.
It is amazing who the mainstream media will bestow legitimacy on. It seems to me with the numbers of democrats voting in the primaries, Billy Jack may still kick some republican ass.
