COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Fred Thompson, trailing Mike Huckabee and John McCain in the polls, will continue his presidential bid even if he finishes third in today's South Carolina primary, his campaign said.
Thompson, who had talked of South Carolina as his last stand, appeared this afternoon at a gun show in a suburban Shriners' auditorium -- a natural fit given his strong support of the Second Amendment right to own firearms. Several patrons wore "Fred '08" stickers on their clothing; as Thompson swept into the packed hall he was greeted by a modest round of applause.
"Go, Fred!" one woman shouted.
"How we doin'?" Thompson asked, greeting passers-by as he walked along the narrow aisles displaying hunting scopes and high-tech shotguns. He shook hands, paused for autographs, and posed for photos snapped on cell phones.

It's a very dynamic and fluid race. Fred is betting that his steady eddy campaign will win out in the end.
Do you remember his answer to one of those "fire in the belly" questions were he said "I don't do frenetic"?
He's the tortise going against a warren of rabbits. And remember the tortoise wins the race.
How about 4? The fat lady’s clearing her throat. He sealed his fate by not going after the front-runner- McCain...STALKING HORSE... Clear as day
That statement is much closer to the sane truth.
“That statement is much closer to the sane truth.”
What statement?
If only he had decided not to run in any state except Tennessee, then he’d have batted 1000 and be the next President!!!!!
That was one snarky post. LOL
I heard both of them with my own ears tell SC voters to vote for Fred.
ping to thread about Levin “endorsing” Thompson.
OK
HUck has a lot of young, naive support.
Unless I hear Fred saying it himself, I don't automatically believe anything about his campaign that I read in the news.
Tennessee would or will be a dog-fight for Fred. I am not so sure about this article, but it states clearly Fred is staying in. I would never have thought he would have stayed in unless he placed second. My thinking was that he is tired of this ride and would jump off at the next stop.
What this says is that he hasn't made up his mind. He'll look at the results and then decide his next move.
If the results indicate it's still a fluid dynamic wide open race he'll stay in. IMO.
A fact lost on many.
But difference between having to do well and I'll quit if I don't win.
You prove my point coward. I consider you nailed. Grow some and make a stand.
That doesn’t mean they endorsed him. Pluse, I haven’t seen a transcript yet. I’ve seen a few Romney people telling people to vote for Fred, just as a few Fred people told people to vote for Romney in Michigan.
The word “endorse”, is a well-known two-syllable word. Levin and Rush have national TV shows where they can say whatever they want.
If either of them wanted to say “I endorse Fred Thompson”, they could do so.
Since they have not, it seems disrespectful to pretend they have.
You only heard what you wanted to hear, and what you expected to hear, based on the MSM spin, and your own antipathy toward Fred.
That’s how I read it as well. There is a qualifier in there somewhere but what it is not real clear.
