This is a rush transcript from "The O'Reilly Factor," November 20, 2007. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
Watch "The O'Reilly Factor" weeknights at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET and listen to the "Radio Factor!"
LAURA INGRAHAM, GUEST CO-HOST: One candidate is seeing some challenges, though, in the polls. And that's Fred Thompson, who was in last place in the latest New Hampshire survey, second place in most national polls. And joining us right now from Washington is Jeri Thompson, the wife of Fred Thompson. Jeri, it's great to see you.
JERI THOMPSON, FRED THOMPSON'S WIFE: Thank you so much. Thanks for having me.
INGRAHAM: What — first of all, I'm sure you've just heard the segment we just did. And I am concerned about the debate in this country. And obviously it got heated. But I don't like it whether we have people intimidating other people from speaking on college campuses. And that civility that we need in debates I think is missing in this country. I really do.
THOMPSON: Well, I'm glad you mentioned David Horowitz, because I think that the work that he's done in the center and the books that he's written on this are really important. I think that those are the sort of texts that we ought to be reading. Those are the things that we ought to be talking about. The intimidation not only on the campuses themselves, but you know, through the texts — through the texts that our children are reading, which I know is a concern of you and definitely as a mother of two children. It's a concern to me.

Nice little slam of Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. That's a sharp young lady!
Fred....er....Jeri Ping
I saw this when Jerri was on. She’s impressive.
I missed it, darn! Don’t usually watch O’Reilly.
I NEVER watch O’Reilly. I think someone was kind enough to post the event.
I can see why Fred married this chick!!
Fred has made his status on the fact he’s an actor and how that supposedly makes him ‘electable’. We’re now seeing that Fred really hasn’t impressed many people when they got a chance to see the man. I find it ironic you try to convince every conservative to get behind such a poor candidate who has no chance of winning a general election and is proving the point when he can’t even take off in the GOP primary.
That's quite the ironic statement coming from a Hunter Duncan fan. LOL
Why don’t you knock it off. I was for Hunter 120% until I realized that the MSM had blocked him from day one. You don’t see a difference between Thompson and Huck-Mclame and Romney? If you don’t you dont deserve a great man like Hunter! I am Thompson/Hunter so that Hunter can win the next time around!
I sincerely hope this was an attempt at sarcasm, since you are a Hunter fan....where are Duncan's poll numbers, BTW?
I’m sick and tired of Hunter fans trashing Thompson. I myself was for Hunter first. I met his family, and they are all remarkable people. But the MSM buried him from day one, and his only chance is as VP, which I wholeheartedly endorse!
Um...
Yeah...
By the way, love the tag...
Ironic as it maybe given the post...

And Duncan has made his status as an unknown Congressman.
Sorry, pal, get used to it. Duncan is a nothing, a nobody, a null, a void, a zip, a nada, a non-existent candidate. His name was only used as a filler to separate Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo. And when Tom drops out, there’ll be no more use for poor ole Duncan. Buh-Bye!!!
But, I really like him...
Veni, vidi, vici, fredi.....I went, I saw, I was impressed by Fred.
Now, what's your Plan B?
Leni
For the sake of argument, let's say you're right, and your candidate Congressman Duncan Hunter stays at 1-4% in the polls, then what do you suggest that conservatives do?! Give up? Support a RINO (Huckabee, Rudy, Mitt, etc..)? Give up and let Hillary become president? WHAT?!! It's easy to criticize Fred and his campaigning! What is your solution?!! Really--I want to hear it!
“Fred has made his status on the fact he’s an actor and how that supposedly makes him ‘electable’”
============================================================Fred achieved national political recognition 33 years ago, his two senate wins during the 90s made him a nationally known popular Republican.
When did you first discover Duncan Hunter?
You guys constantly try to convince everyone that Fred is unelectable. It will not work until I see Duncan coming up in the polls even to 4th or 5th. He has been in this race longer and yet cannot climb above 6th or 7th. What does that tell you?
Fred come into this race 2nd in the National polls. In many polls, he is still 2nd. I have even seen some polls with Fred in 1st. Duncan Hunter is simply no registering with the general public or even here. I see from the FreeRepublic poll that his supporters have been hitting the site often to drive up his numbers. Nonmembers! That means they don’t follow politics on a regular basis and maybe the supporters are moving from computer to computer to drive his numbers up.
OK...flame away!
[I am Thompson/Hunter so that Hunter can win the next time around!]
That would be an incredible scenario, I just can’t understand why people don’t understand it. Hunter is already out of the running in 2008, but he could make a difference for 16 years paired with Fred.
