The campaign needs to retool. Got to figure out how to break Huck’s hold over the churches, and he’s going to have to enlist Giuliani and Romney as de facto allies. And everyone needs to pound McCain.

So what do you guys make of everyone saying Fred will drop out after Florida and endorse McCain? McCain!! Makes no sense whatever to me. Would he do that?

This campaign is going to come down to Romney and McCain, with conservatives going to Romney.

Ofcourse, Rudy could do well in Florida and reenergize his campaign, but that only hurt McCain since they go for the same voters.

Huckabee doesn't have the money nor organization to keep going.

Thompson will drop as well.

Conservatives need to focus on getting good congressmen into office to keep a check on the Presidency.

Remember it was Congress, not the President, which stopped the Amnesty bill.

Fred Thompson, however, was far from making any sort of statement about bowing out of the presidential race. Thompson returned home to Virginia Saturday night. His campaign most likely is regrouping, and gearing up for another big fight in the Florida Primary.

"Huck’s hold over the churches"

Do the churches in the south have that kind of herd mentality?

Yes, because Romney and Guiliani want nothing more than Fred to be president. LOL!

McCain has run such a vague campaign, you’re right about pounding him hard. Going at him from all sides will force him into some positions, the same way Fred has had to move wholesale into the NRA camp.

The Feb Super automatically favors the frontrunner and the fact McCain has somehow remained the least-defined guy in the race so far .. not good. The other gentlemen need to lock McCain into some stuff they can use as ammo.

Im banking on Fred having a lot more mass appeal from the film career than pundits are considering. The Feb Super might toss him back into contention if we’re heading for a brokered convention.
