Fred doesn’t have to win South Carolina, he just has to make a respectable showing. He’s everybody’s second choice and could turn out to be their first choice if we have a brokered convention.

The nomination is very much up for grabs at this point. Nobody is walking away with it. To state that this is the end of Fred is wishing thinking IMO.

Someone is trying to lower the bar on Fred getting out, and doing it before another election in the hopes of damaging him beyond recovery.

I also think it was interesting to use the term libertarian in this article, a word that some have grown to look upon with intrepidation.

Fred Thompson is running on the republican ticket, and that’s the only party that should be mentioned in relationship to him.

Campaigns end when they run out of money. Unless Fred comes in first or second his campaign will not have the money to carry on. Thats a fact unfortunately.

By golly, I think you have nailed it. Think that over. Fred is EVERYBODYS second choice in a race that so far has Rudy McRombee in first. Fred can ride that all the way to a brokered convention, cause Rudy McRombee is destroying it's own various "personalities".

Damn straight! Fred is my 1st choice. If Mitt is the nominee by honest means I will vote for him. But I will NEVER vote for Rudy or McCain and I will sure as hell never vote for Huckabee. If Huckabee is the nominee I will do whatever is necesary to defeat him, even if it means voting D for the first time in my life. I will NOT let that freedom-hating POS become the defacto leader of the party that I have always understood to represent freedom and destroy all we’ve fought for. $UCK THE HUCK!!!

If Fred makes a good showing in South Carolina, Then it tears open “Super-Duper Tuesday”.

A good showing on Saturday virtually ASSURES Fred of winning Tennessee, and possibly GEORGIA.

Alabama is a Thompson/Huckabee tossup, and could hinge on who Bob Riley decides to endorse.

He knows Romney well, and has been friends with McCain for a long time.

ILLINOIS could very well be the Wild-card here, with everyone going left to vote for the home-boy, Obama, leaving the Republican side WIDE OPEN....
