That presupposes Fred would drop out, which I’m not predicting,
I think that is a pretty clear statement that is the opposite of what you claimed I said. There's no reason to be putting words into other poster's mouths, especially when they said the opposite of what you claim.
These are YOUR words, not mine:
“I don’t think Fred will drop out before New Hampshire. The only wild card is if Fred really thinks his endorsement would help his old friend McCain win the election, and my guess is with McCain looking good in NH now Fred would wait and use his endorsement to give McCain an extra boost right before the South Carolina primary.”
In case you said something you didn’t really mean, I need to point out to you that what you are saying here is that while you don’t think Fred will drop out before New Hampshire, you “guess” Fred would wait until just ahead of the South Carolina primary.
YOUR WORDS, not mine.
