So what is your prediction for those who placed below Fred’s third? Is Rudy done? McCain? Paul? Hunter? Shouldn’t they be dropping out first? Why is FRED done? He’s now in the top 3 for actual votes.... not poll numbers.
If Fred walks with 3rd I’m very pleased. I looks like he will place above McCain, whom they tried hard to shove into 3rd to push Fred out. How nice that all that hype didn’t seem to work well enough to accomplish the goal. Huckabee is losing numbers nationally and Fred is within 5 points of Romney, who now leads in the daily Rasmussen. Fred is in a VERY good spot.
FYI, DRUDGE Fixed the ordering.
RESULTS:
Obama 33.93; Edwards 31.83; Clinton 31.56
Huckabee 35; Romney 24; Thompson 14; McCain 12
With $6 million set aside for South Carolina and showing he can compete, I think Fred did very well today.
As precincts reporting increases, do you think FT percentage will increase?
I think 3rd is where he will be but he needs higher numbers or the MSM will say he tied with McCain.
Love your precincts numbers.
Woo Hoo!
Your precinct rocks!
Go Fred!
Romney really bombed (considering all the organization and money he had in the state).
Media dissed both Edwards and Thompson. Both did better than thought.
BILL KRISTOL: “A deadlock Republican convention turns to the most qualified Republican of them all to be president on the fifth ballot, Dick Cheney.
And he wins in a landslide in November.”
They are embarrassed and will not issue a headline positive of Fred at all. They are going to gloat over Huckles and pore over strategy Romney and McCain need to get back in it with no mention of Fred.
I said last night that a 3rd Place finish for Fred would be a VICTORY!!
I’m hoping that the States after Iowa will realize that there is only ONE CONSERVATIVE ALTERNATIVE TO THE HUCKSTER AND THAT IS FRED THOMPSON.
13 & 12 now reported on FNC. Hope Fred holds off McCain.
Cool..., I was joking about Miss Cleo, too :-)
Thanks for letting us know- did it seem like a heavy turnout for your precinct?
Huckabee 38
Fred Thompson 21
Romney 20
McCain 7
Paul 1
Hunter 1
Must be a lot of Fred fans (or freepers) there. :)
That's okay. The ignored one can sneak attack. Let them watch the wrong people, they won't know what hits them when Mr. Thompson comes out ahead.
Cheney winning the Presidency would instantly cause tens of millions of leftist nervous breakdowns.
I’m a Fred fan, but a weak 3rd place won’t cut it. He be out of the news (what else is new) until SC. A weak third won’t carry him that far.
If he finished with 20 to Mitt’s 23, or some such thing, it would be different.
The frightening thing is that, since I will not vote for Huckabee or McCain, and probably not Rudy - even against Hillary - I may be sitting out the election this year, or even voting democrat.
Me too, but I dont trust them, they love MCLAME and hate FRED so a quick “adjustment” by the MSM (FOX INCLUDED) I would not put it past them just to put MCLAME in 3rd.
ps: Tin foil hat is on but only for TV reception.
