If you had access to such information, it would be unethical to reveal it before the polls close. You’re trying to do harm by even talking about it. That is all that is going to count at the end of the day.

She was making a point about the tediousness of the over asked question meant to demean Fred. I’m sure she doesn’t give a rats butt who McLame endorses.

That's right. Every time one tactic against Fred wears out, there is another one. The fraudulent and persistent "Fred will drop out and endorse McCain" rumors are not only tedious, but are meant to inhibit Fred's vote. Enough already.

A few days ago Fred was on Cavuto; Neil was rather dismissive and contempted, gave Ed the Snake Rollins five minutes to follow-up drone on about himself.

Rush is the only guy on our side.

“Fox is unwatchable. I say that as someone who’s watched FOX since they FIRST came on the air. I’m done.”

We’ve decided to get rid of satellite. The main channel I used to watch all the time was Fox, but I can’t stand it anymore. Most of the rest of the channels are junk as well. I can get my news online. I will miss the Military Channel though.

No, he doesn’t. Pence absolutely rejected the McCain-Kennedy plan, which is why he came up with his own. Unfortunately, his rush to head off the amnesty plan produced a not-ready-for-prime-time effort with plenty of flaws of its own. But in its own way, it worked for good. It helped galvanize various factions into one anti-amnesty movement that successfully derailed the runaway train. For now, anyway.

THOMPSON PLANS TO GO TO FLORIDA!

“Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor January 19, 2008 03:35 PM

By Joseph Williams, Globe Staff

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.

“When are you and Huckabee going to team up?” one well-wisher asked as Thompson gripped his hand.

“We are teamed up,” Thompson quipped. “We’re teamed up beating on each other.”

Someone should make it very clear to Fred that, if he sadly decides to eventually drop out and ask his supporters to transfer their loyalties to McCrazy, IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN!

Go, FRED!

I have access to the exit data.

If you have access to exit data and if you are posting it here before the polls close, you should be thrown off this board.

There’s another thread posted saying CBS reports Fred as saying it may be over depending on what the final SC tally is.

CNN keeps mentioning McCain filing lawsuits to keep Horry county polls open longer.

Make what you want of it, but he sounds like a Dem who is losing.

>>I highly recommend turning off Fox. I did during Iowa caucus, and I’m having a much more relaxed day today by not turning it on.<<

I recommend Buffalo Bill and the Indians on the MGM channel and keeping up with the news on the web. They are broadcasting the movie in Hidef and its much more relaxing this way.

“Fox group saying Thompson is looking like fourth place in SC. Thompson says he will go see mom after this primary and decide where to go from there. The group says when he drops out, he will immediately endorse McCain.”

How much will does Fred have? He has more money than McCain. He is 3rd behind Rudy and Romney. McCain won’t win SC or FL. He’ll fade out after Super Tuesday.

I rather expect McCain to drop out and endorse Fred.

He needs to call a press meeting and tell them he is NOT dropping out. They did the same thing with Duncan Hunter that they are now doing with Fred. Huckabee’s next IMO.

You have access to the polling data? And are publishing it on FR while there is STILL VOTING GOING ON?

Don’t bother looking for your conscience- you don’t have one.

The question he was asked was what would he do if he didn’t do well in SC?

"I highly recommend turning off Fox. I did during Iowa caucus, and I’m having a much more relaxed day today by not turning it on."

I turned Fox off a long time ago. I found the fast pace, loud intros, etc was getting my blood pressure up. I especially couldn't take Hannity & Colms and all the screaming that went on there.

He said yesterday he would go on to Florida even if he finished third.

LOL. You seriously think it’s going to influence the election?
