It’s admirable when one is so enthusiastic about his/her candidate. But there comes a time to be realistic.
FredHeads aren’t there yet. It sounds like Fred is. His speech last night, with no hint of fighting on, signalled he’s throwing in the towel. He doesn’t strike me as the type to carry on a quixotic effort.
I’d like to say it was fun while it lasted. But, looking back, it was more frustrating than inspiring. Fred never did what was necessary to convice voters he was a contender. I like what he says, but his campaign was a disorganized, unfocused mess.
If they are smart, they will have a Plan B and two track it, multitask, and look at options for when and if Mr. Thompson drops out.
With the MSM arrayed against him, as they were against Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter, and even so called "conservative MSM" and conservative commentators, Fred Thompson does not have a chance and it is only a matter of time sadly for him and them. The writing is on the wall. The whole plan was to knock of conservatives, 1, 2, 3, just like that. They already got 1 and 2.

I would agree. I also think it would be a real shame if Fred stays in the race only to become another Keyes. At this point Fred has a better chance of getting snake bit than of winning the nomination. I don’t see what can be gained by him staying in the race only to become fodder for late night talk show hosts. Fred has had a pretty good career in politics, he was recruited by the grass roots to run for president, and he gave it a shot. unfortunately for him and his supporters he missed, but limping to the finish line in a misguided forlorn hope can only diminish his reputation.

Right on the money.
I actually read another poster saying that while Fred may have not done that great in SC, for us to be patient, “his time is coming.”
Since when did living in a fantasy land become an acceptable trait for a conservative? Only liberals should play “let’s pretend.”
