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.

projection? You have tassles on yours, I assume.

**Just wait for the results.**

Thompson will be # 1 or 2 in South Carolina.  Hang on and watch.  It's going to be a great ride!

And the worst part, is the ‘panel’ is perfectly fine with a McCain presidency. I’m not.

WOW. Can i put money on that?

I’m not wealthy enough to afford a pair of shoes as durable and well-made as Gucci, but when I am, I’ll wear them.

Class-envy isn’t very conservative.

I want all six to stay in anyway. I just remember hearing that the campaign leaving was a possibility. Besides my flip flop statement was sarcastic which I added.

My condolences on your loss.

He’s been drawing enthusiastic crowds in SC, and people are supporting him financially from all over the country. It would be crazy to get out now — go Thompson!

[pissant]

Nothing to do with class. But I’m sure you’ll look spiffy in those tassled loafers.

[pissant]

Drop out Fred. Endorse Hunter!!!!!!!!

Caught you in a double-lie.

Nowhere in that article does he say that he will withdraw from the race if he doesn't do well in North Carolina.

Does it?

[Petronski]

You said: He said he needed number one or strong two or he would get out.

That is NOT in the article you linked.

[Petronski]

It’s all about class. You’re jealous.

[donnab]

that is so cute.

That is one thing I like about your posts the pissant. It draws the gnats like a light bulb on a warm summer night...

No it does not say anything about North Carolina you are right.

LOL. Yeah right. I’m also jealous of rappers with their $50k worth of bling bling. Like I said, projection
