I dont know much about Fred but... Ya' lost me right there. An 8 year FReeper, and you don't know much about FRed? You vote for your guy, I'll vote for mine. Just remember, you'll get what you asked for. I know from experience.

Is McCain really the “front runner”? Or is that just a MSM myth? Has he won more delegates than anyone else?

I’m willing to cut him some slack. I don’t want someone who is rabidly obsessed with the lust for power. I just want an honorable man who is willing to serve.

Do the churches in the south have that kind of herd mentality?no, but utterly uninformed freepers get off thinking that
meanwhile does anyone even bother to ask if it was ok that Romney got probably 100% of the Mormon vote in Nevada?...and that they came out to vote 4 fold more so than non-Mormons?
is it bigoted for and herd mentality for Mormons to vote for their kind?

Can’t really disagree with anything you said. Except, that although I could, reluctantly vote for Romney or Giuliani, I might not really bother.

Fred mismanaged his campaign just like he mismanaged the ChinaGate investigations. No surprises anywhere.
To: reflecting
So what reward does Thompson get out of this.

" I do not believe a majority of the American people have become so suicidal. Oh, 40% have; but not 50.1% "48% voted for John F'ing Kerry in 2004. I think that that number has increased since.

It’s not true that Fred Thompson did not catch on. What is true is that he was catching on, and changing minds, just toward the end. If he had had more time and better campaign organization, I think his message would have made it across.
I think that his competitor was Huckabee in SC, and I do think that slowly people have been realizing that being noisily Christian is NOT an important point on the resume of a presidential candidate. And that just because someone is an avowed Christian does not preclude voters examining his OTHER characteristics and record. With a proper look at Huckabee, voters would have turned to the one true conservative in the race, Fred Thompson.
I am sad they didn’t.

Politics has always been about compromise.... not intolerance. use of that politically correct code word is sad....."intolerance"......just shows how deep PC cuts in our culture that folks think having one's own stubborn views is now INTOLERANCE...lol
a better word would be ....Politics has always been about compromise not obstinacy or intransigence.

Doesn’t matter. It’s no big deal. McCain is the front runner and he spent less. The point is what Romney has, be it spun as a tremendous lead or ignored by the media doesn’t mean much,at the moment, in this compressed and distorted primary process. Romney obviously thinks the cost is worth it, but he really isn’t running away with anything.

Fred should stay in even if he has no chance of winning. He should be a voice, and a group of bargaining delegates, at the convention. Absolutely! This is key. And I hope he WOULD consider the Veep role. He's a lot younger than he looks.

Everyone seems to vote for and support their own kind, blighted or otherwise, except conservatives.

I’ll write in Fred if the Pubs don’t nominate him. Period.
To: counterpunch
I agree.
Stay the course Fred!
This thing is not over!
To: Route66
“At this time, according to the FR poll, over 60% of the 1700+ respondents, including members and nonmembers, are either staying with Thompson or moving TO Thompson.
This man has strong, loyal conservative support. The others only have a faction to try to ride and a ceiling beyond that because of baggage and high negatives. In the end, Fred will be the last man standing if we can keep him in the race.”
Drink the Kool Aid much?
