Welcome to Fred Heads for Mitt!

This is the successor blog to NJ Supports Fred. It is an independent blog, not financed by any campaign.

Fred Thompson has left the presidential race. Like the stand up guy that he is, he followed through on his words. He had stated that unless he achieved a strong finish in South Carolina, he would leave the race. And the word has come from Fred: He does not want to dictate to whom his followers should go. It is his desire for Fred Heads to decide for themselves.

In the days following Fred's withdrawal, a trend has started to emerge. Here in New Jersey, a very interesting poll found that the lion's share of Fred's support in New Jersey is heading toward Mitt Romney. At the same time, the leadership group of the Friends of Fred Thompson - NJ have endorsed Mitt Romney.

Former Assemblyman Guy Gregg led the charge. Guy is one of the most articulate conservatives anywhere. He spoke eloquently on Fred's behalf at the Middlesex GOP Convention and the Conservatives with Attitude! straw poll. To Guy, it is a no-brainer: Mitt Romney is the best and most reliable conservative in the race.

Former Jersey City Corporate Counsel Sean Connelly remarked: Mitt Romney represents the best hope of the remaining candidates to unite the Reagan coalition.

Donald O'Sullivan agrees, noting that we will continue our fight for the heart and soul of the Republican Party by throwing our support to Mitt Romney.

In the coming weeks, we will examine why Fred Heads and conservatives everywhere are throwing their support behind Mitt Romney.
