Thompson plans to go on to Florida 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.”

His trouble was he could not ride the wave earlier in the 2007 season because of is L&O contract, so by the time he got in the wave was petering out!

Than he needed to get his footing, by that time everyone else was feeling comfortable and he was still was in the awakward stage!

I really can't figure him out and the only reason he would go to Florida is to help out McCain!
