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.

Huckabee needs knocked out of this race. Why none of the candidates with big money have did it I do not know. Fred showed in the South Carolina debate how venerable he is.

Yes. It is other people who say he says he is getting out.
FT never has said it.

What the hell are you talking about?? He’d be wasting those campaign dollars if he QUIT! I’m glad he’s taking this to Florida, I’ll probably send him another $50 later.

Part of that’s MY money, and I WANT him to continue, as do all the supporters who post on his website.

It’s obviously not YOUR money, so it’s none of your business.

Dr. K. on the Panel last night said that if McCain wins SC, he IS the nominee. I was screaming! Seems I’m always screaming watching Fox these days.
