Reflections From a Murky Pond

The primaries for the 2010 Congressional Mid-Term Elections are over and included some results within the Republican primaries that many are describing as upsets such as Christine O’Donnell’s primary victory in Delaware. Yet, upsets or not, these are the candidates we, the People have chosen to array against the Liberals in these elections.

The primaries are a proper time for internecine struggle but those times are now past, their issues decided. It is time now for we, the People to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our brothers and sisters in arms and present a united front to America’s enemies. We must move and fight as one if we are to be victorious.

Cuneum Formate! Porro!

In the words of many, many centurions of days gone by, “Cuneum Formate! Porro!” These are the ancient commands of the Roman Legion that meant to form a wedge formation and attack the enemy.

On Tuesday, January 22, 2008, Former Senator Fred Thomson signaled the end his run for the US presidency. Mr. Thompson resigned from the race after his disappointing third-place finish in South Carolina’s GOP primary. He finished with 16 percent of the vote, whereas McCain and Huckabee finished with 33% and 30% of the vote respectively.

Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for president of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort. Jeri and I will always be grateful for the encouragement and friendship of so many wonderful people.

— Fred Thompson

Thompson was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1994 and represented Tennessee for eight years. Thompson had hoped that South Carolina, the first Southern state contested in this election cycle would provide him with a strong showing that could have revitalized his stagnating campaign.

Fred Thompson is reported to be a long time friend of Sen. John McCain. It is completely conceivable to me that we’ll see Mr. Thompson becoming McCain’s running mate in the near future.

10:00PM EST, January 8th, 2008 – with over 50% of the precincts having reported, the results are currently:

Democratic party with 59% reporting:

• Clinton 60,839 39%
• Obama 57,013 37%
• Edwards 25,845 17%
• Richardson 7,409 5%
• Kucinich 2,240 1%
• Dodd 388 0%
• Biden 343 0%
• Gravel 209 0%

Republican party with 57% reporting:

• McCain 46,600 37%
• Romney 39,501 31%
• Huckabee 14,242 11%
• Giuliani 10,926 9%
• Paul 9,917 8%
• Thompson 1,487 1%
• Hunter 645 1%

Frankly the result are still very much up in the air. The Obama v. Clinton battle is much closer than was to be expected, especially since none of the pundits expected an early lead by Hillary. The Romney v. McClain battle is shaping up to be far closer than the MSM would like us to believe.
