He was actually too courageous and pure of heart to win.
You know, I really did not intend what I originally said as a slam. And I am surprised that I offended. Sorry.
As far Fred's campaign is concerned, he changed staff too many times and never settled on a strategy. He kept giving mixed signals about whether he would run at all. Then when he was official he never did come up with an answer to "why do you want to be president" that made it sound remotely like he in fact did want to be president.
He didn't even resign from the race in an effectual way. He gave a depressing sounding concession speech that made everyone wonder if he had withdrawn, and then waited till the next day to say it unequivically.
Please note that none of what I said in this post or anywhere in this thread is based on ideology at all. It seems to me we should be able to comment about the mechanics of the race without getting ideological.
