THOMPSON PLANS TO GO 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.”

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