He’ll be around till March at least. He thinks he can win Texas because of the silly Chritians here supporting him. I hoping his exit will take place after Super Tuesday.

I already said Huck isn’t going anywhere, but he will be there through 2/5.

If Huckabee and Rudy continue to lose support in Florida and elsewhere, like they appear to be doing, Fred’s chances look better than not. It’s anybody’s guess where those voters would go should that scenario prevail. Rudy for sure is not doing well in the South outside of perhaps Florida. Heck, even in two recent polls McCain leads Rudy by narrow margins in New Jersey. Rudy was ahead in the polls as recently as October by 30+%.

If Thompson does drop out I can’t see a large number of his voters going to McCain. That’s why I think if Fred does quit the race he will just say he will support whoever is the eventual nominee.

Fred has got more money to run on than Huck does...

Good, good. Why is his staff on half pay? Huck IS NOT a serious contender for the nomination

If you wish to donate to Fred's campaign to keep him going, please use my fundraising number 52006. Thank you.

Just donated to the Red Truck with your number. Saw what looked like a good amount at the top but am not certain of the decimal places.

Last I heard was, Huck has only $ 600,000 compared to Fred’s $ 7 million to run on.

I just tried the link, and the red truck is there.
It’s not an old link, either...it’s current.

Jesus does not want Huck to drop out.

Sorry, I had a long talk with him at his house yesterday. He is not amused by the Huckster.

“Tennessee Republican Party Chairwoman Robin Smith says”

I think she likes to see her name in print.

There is no sign at all that Fred is planning to continue his campaign. I hope he does, but I expect that he will not.

This is the current link. I wouldn’t use any link provided on a forum lest you get scammed. I don’t see no truck.

Hello,

Never said it wasn’t an old link. However, I do not think my $50.00 went into space.

Fred08 always said that the Red Truck was for SC. That is over now.

I wish I could predict what he will do going forward. I know that I believe he should hang in there, in the current environment, anything could happen. That is why (despite Fox gleefully reporting that he is out) I just gave him more cash. Not much, but what I had to give.

-—Red truck 1.5 million goal by midnight:-—

“Thompson shakes a few hands, then walks out with the rest of the crowd to the red pickup truck he made famous during his 1994 Senate campaign. My friend stands talking with her colleagues as the senator is driven away by a blond, all-American staffer. A few minutes later, my friend gets into her car to head home. As she pulls up to the stop sign at the parking lot exit, rolling up to the intersection is Senator Thompson, now behind the wheel of a sweet silver luxury sedan. He gives my friend a slight nod as he drives past. Turning onto the main road, my friend passes the school’s small, side parking area. Lo and behold: There sits the abandoned red pickup, along with the all-American staffer.”

Thompson didn’t even drive the thing — as Kevin Drum recently noted, “Basically, he just drove the thing the final few hundred feet before each campaign event, and then ditched it for something nicer as soon as he was out of sight of the yokels.”

I’m not a Paul supporter but that was a funny comeback. :) Good on you.

The text on the side of the video says:In 1994 Fred climbed inside a red pickup truck and drove across Tennessee, taking his conservative message directly to the voters. Now he is traveling across Iowa, showing why he is the true conservative in the race. We have brought back the spirit of the red pickup to work its magic again. We need $248,846 to run the ad on the left while Fred campaigns relentlessly across Iowa. Can Fred count on you? Make a contribution today.

Donate to Fred if you want to, but I would avoid donating to a Nigerian Chief's son on a mirror site

It must be hard to support a crazy man. Of course, that doesn’t say much about you.

I just sent a little more. Looks to be continuing momentum for the campaign as they were close to the goal when I chipped in a bit more. Hopefully by midnight the goal is met and Fred rolls on to Super Tuesday where anything goes.

I’ll tell you what, tonight I am tired. I was nice in my reply to you and you want to slam me about Nigerian Internet scams? As in, you think I am stupid?

I have to be gone tomorrow, trying to keep my family going. My Mother is dying, I care enough about a truly good man to donate, and you throw this at me?

I am beginning to dislike this place.
