Fred has to come in first or second in South Carolina. You are probably right. He needs to do well there because the vultures have been picking his bones since he entered the race, declaring him dead and doing their best to make him go away.
Just out of curiosity, where does Duncan need to come in in SC in order to stay viable?

So, big question: Is Fred not in remission? Does he still have cancer? Is he balancing chemo and this campaign?Fred's illness is not active; it doesn't require chemo.

Fred has never expected anyone to hand him anything. He’s working, but he’s not interested in playing the ‘boxers or briefs’ game of the media. He’s more interested in getting out with the voters. He did that in Iowa, and he’s done that some in NH. Now he’s on the road in SC, and as one poster noted, has a very heavy schedule.

Youd think with all the contacts Fred and his wife have, that theyd be able to keep him in the headlines, but they havent.LOL!! The President can't even get headlines from the MSM, how do you expect Fred to do so, if the MSM isn't interested in getting his name out there, except in a negative way?

And this comes from a Fred Thompson supporter about to jump ship after the New Hampshire results.Don't know why you want to accept defeat so quickly. NH is only the third primary, and all were very small. Why not wait to see what he does in SC?

Maybe if they find him at one of his campaign stops today, they can ask him if hes seen Hunter, who at last report was hanging out with Elvis in an undisclosed location.
Well at least Hunter is awake, and doesn't have to do commercial endorsements:

The real joke is that you support a candidate that cant manage to excite even 1% of the electorate
Oh I don't know about that, just the mention of Duncan Hunter's name seems to drive you into a frenzy.

Who's Hunter????
Ask Tony Snow, he's known Hunter for years. He'll educate your smart arse.

How do you know Hunter’s awake if nobody’s seen him?

I’m just one more ‘nobody’ and I’VE seen him, so I guess that makes you a nobody that HASN’T seen him.
Enjoy the evening pal, Hunter may indeed be at the back of the pack in New Hampshire, but rest assured that Fred is keeping him company, asleep OR awake. lol

Umm, Rudy has skipped IA, NH, WY, MI, and SC and is concentrating on FL. So why is no one saying anything about that, hmmmm?
Bad psyops is truly and ugly thing.

Ah, yes. A Fred bash from someone who supports a candidates whose only way to get national tv exposure is to crash the set of a morning talk show.

Remember that when your boy Fred comes in with results not much better than Hunter.
I heard that Fred also crashed the set of some TV show, he crashed through the dry wall after falling asleep waiting for the cue to walk on stage...LOL
C’mon, we’ll tell jokes about each other’s candidates for the rest of the night.

If I hadn’t just (stupidly) engaged a flaming liberal on the evils of GWB, corporations and Christians, I might. I’ve earned a pass. :)

If you do see him ask him if he could help out with the Fred phone bank this Wednesday.

Go Kumbaya somewhere else. FR doesn’t need more self-appointed Ms. Manners.

I think we overestimate the media - they’re kinda like a referee...yeah, we hate them for bad calls, but it’s the teams fault for letting it come down to a ref’s decision.
To: fred4prez
Good point. I sense a lot of frustration in the posts in this thread. Such high hopes, and now FR only has 1 per cent, compared to 8 percent for Ron Paul?
