Rush must endorse Fred before Saturday!

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of South Carolina’s Republican Presidential Primary shows that John McCain and Mike Huckabee are tied at 24%. In a race that has already seen four different candidates with the lead, much could still change in the coming days—7% of voters have yet to make up their mind, 10% say there’s a good chance they could change their mind, and another 24% might change their mind.

Mitt Romney attracts 18% support and Fred Thompson 16%. Those figures are little changed from the previous survey

I don’t think the undecideds break for Huckabee. He’s got his core evangelical support there. So the undecideds will break for Thompson and Romney IF the knuckleheads have the sense to gun for McCain and to remind S. Carolina of his amnesty bill.

Actually, there is some change, with the race tightening up. Romney got a mini bounce (as expected) but McCain has dropped, along with Huckabee. It is going Fred’s way. I agree that an endorsement by Rush would be tremendous tomorrow, but I don’t look for it. I look for him to keep savaging McCain and Huckabee!

I agree, if he really wants him to win he must push for him. Tomorrow is open line Friday, perhaps he will take many calls from Fred Heads if he refused to out and out endorse him publicly.

Rush is not going to endorse Thompson, before Friday or before the Convention. He has hinted and winked, but he will not endorse. He wants to be in a position to support whatever candidate emerges, and I cannot blame him for that.

And, at the end of the day, Rush runs a radio program (in addition to the rest of America, of course). If only 30% of his listeners prefer Thompson, he will be annoying 70% of them with an endorsement at this juncture. He did not get where he is today by annoying 70% of his audience.

Celebrity endorsements are nothing. Does anyone really make decisions on what Rush says? If they do perhaps they aren't smart enough to vote.

Yep. Rush’s poorly camouflaged support for Fred is stupid; it’s like being a little bit pregnant.

Rush will have nobody to blame but himself if we get stuck with a mutt.

Speak your peace Rush!!

The polls have been geting the ORDER of the wins pretty much spot on.

SC hinges on the Hucksters evangelical zombie vote and McCain amnesia.

He must endorse him TODAY. It would make the evening cable news networks tonight and probably help Fred tremendously tomorrow.

Don’t forget that in NH, Osama-Obama led Hillary by about 12 percentage points; she won by 2%. The polls were off 14 percentage points.
In MI, the GOP race between Mac and Mitt was “too close to call”. Mitt won by 9%.
Polls, schmolls. GO FRED; KEEP RUNNING ‘TIL THE LAST VOTE IS CAST SATURDAY NIGHT.
