I thoght George had already endorsed Fred. He’s been campaigning with Fred, as I understand it.

Allen has been an advisor to the Thompson campaign "almost" since the begining.
I'm not sure when he joined in, but it wouldn't be Allen.

Maybe it's Carl Rove!

NRA is a member organization. Member organizations, for the most part, walk in line and tow the company line.

No, the toe the company line. The organization that tows is the AAA.

[aruanan]

Sorry guys but its the truth.

Huck's chances are about as good as your punctuation.

[GOPyouth]

I am against Fred on the Marriage amendment however. His solution is not workable

This is one of the few issues that I disagree with Fred on. When Bob and Joe get married in Boston, then move to Texas and decide to get divorced, the constitutional issue will finally arrive. And when this happens in a few states, the Supreme Court will finally have to decide the issue.

After 8 years of Bush getting his butt handed to him politically, wouldn't it be nice to have a candidate like Huckabee who can beat the Clintons at their own game? One who is funny and relates well to others? A candidate that speaks well with big words unlike Bush who uses big words and tries to explain what the word means to the press like they too just learned that word that morning? Huckabee and Thompson are both great communicators. But only Huckabee relates the old Reagen Democrats.

I'd rather have a candidate with actual substance instead of an airhead that hides behind a Bible.

Fred Thompson is that candidate. Mike Huckabee is an utter joke.

James Dobson's whole "I know something about Harriet Miers so you should just be good little Christians and shut up" crap earned him the World's Most Stupid Televangelist Award of 2005.

I didn't forget. Did you?

Dobson used to be great. Now he's a too-big-for his britches dumbass who stuck his officious little snotlocker where it had no business being. He should have kept his yap shut with regard to politics. His defense of Bush's double-ought STOO-PID nomination of Miers was his shark-jumping.

Dobson and Huck-frigging-Finn can go get their own private island and have themselves a 24/7 cornpone-eating Kumbahyah-fest.

Whatever it taks to get them both the hell out of politics.

[ejonesie22]

It already is, National Right to Life ad their South Carlina Chapter have already done a mailing for their Candidate, Fred Thompson.

Nice try though...

Next....

[napscoordinator]

The rumor is that tomorrow’s big endorsement for Fred will be George Allen.

It better be better than that. Allen is already supporting him so I don’t think it would be a big deal. I am thinking that only Rush or Dr. Dobson would be considered big right now.

[napscoordinator]

I’ll bet the endorsement is the Club for Growth.

It won’t be them. They just had the guy from Pennsylvania (he ran for Senator but Bush backed Arlen) who is running it and he was touting Guiliani and Huckster. It did not seem to me like he would endorse him after that discussion.

[kjam22]

Sorry guys but its the truth.

We can't handle the truth. You're right. Huckabee is the clear winner here tonight. But don't tell the Thompson crowd that.

I agree with you guys. The Thompson crowd is just fired up because Fred didn't sleep through this one.

[kjam22]

Huckabee demonstrated his superiority with an extremely measured, calm response, citing his experience as a real decider and his success as a proven WINNER, which is the big key here. I hope republicans are wise enough to recognize that adhering to some set of principles that may have been applicable in the eighties for success will not prevail against the demoncrats in this era. Enough about Reagan, because that is a long time ago, and it is pure horse hockey to say that his principles were the fundamental key to his electoral success. He had extremely good timing after Carter's disastrous first term and Mondale, like all senate candidates was a joke. Plus Reagan had super charisma, and did many things that conservatives find offensive today. They'd label Reagan a cut and runner for goodness sake.

I think that Thompson's calling Huckabee a demoncrat ( in essence ), he is exposing not only the flaw in our two party system, but the reason we are such a polarized country. There is nowhere for someone that doesn't adhere to the two parties PC laws to go. Huckabee's pro-life values, 2nd amendment support, immigration and tax plans are way too radical for the democrats to accept him. Now we are being told that the pubbies think he is too liberal because he has had to make some tough decisions as an actual, real decider, and that he actually has a compasionate side and wants to help people if possible.

But Huckabee already recognizes that when he talks about verticality vs. a horizontal mindset. I think the American voter will see that as being the gosh awful closest version of the truth coming from anyone, and will reward him for it.

Thompson's attack might amuse Rush, but it did nothing to hurt Huckabee with the American public

You are right on. Very well said.

[iopscusa]

IMO, if FRED gets close in SC his campaign will explode and then Rush may actually endorse him.

[John Valentine]

They just had the guy from Pennsylvania (he ran for Senator but Bush backed Arlen) who is running it and he was touting Guiliani and Huckster.

That would be like St. Peter endorsing Satan. I flat think you have your facts wrong.

[John Valentine]

You are really out to lunch.

Fred Thompson’s stand on right to life is square and on the money. Take it to the bank, and while yo are at it, get used to “President Thompson”.

[Jay777]

Huckabee would destroy the Republican party! Listen to Rush Limbaugh sometime. He would never win anyway, because too many would sit out in protest.

[Jay777]

It is time to get on the Fred boat.

[Jay777]

WTF are you talking about?

[Ghengis]

“Fred body slams Huckster.”

He buried him...Hucks reply was like a mouse going into his hole.

Huckabee reminded me more of a high school boy trying to explain away to his girlfriend why he was at the movies with another girl.

[Jay777]

You guys are clearly in the minority on this opinion.

[SauronOfMordor]

If Senator Thompson’s campaign surges in South Carolina, his abortion record is probably going to come out.

When Fred was 17, his girlfriend got pregnant. Rather than get her to have an abortion, Fred married her, and stayed married to her until all the kids were grown

If that isn't being pro-life, then nothing is
