"We're drawing the line in South Carolina," Senator Fred Thompson said earlier today, laying out out the importance of next week's primary showdown and hinting at an impending attack against Mike Huckabee in this evening's debate in Myrtle Beach hosted by the Fox News Channel

There is money there past SC. There is a long way to go.
Yep....Fred will dump on Huckabee, help McCain win in SC, place fourth after Romney, dropout and endorse McCain
It's not necessary.
NH was Johnnie's zenith.
He won't come close to winning in another caucus.
He needs to go after the Huck/Tyson connection in a big way.
Doesn’t it seem like they would have more dirt on huck and johnboy then even we do?
You know, when a candidate refuses to attack the leader of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, he is complicit.
This is inescapable. He must attack McCain or he is complicit in McCain’s immigration stand.
By contrasting how he fits perfectly with not just Social Cons, but Forign policy Cons, and Fiscal Cons he makes it clear that not only is Huckabee’s credentials as a “conservative” phony and made of whole cloth, but McCain has a similar problem.
I have 2nd and 3rd choices in case Fred loses SC, but no one unites the GOP like Fred, (except maybe Hunter)
At any rate, even without any attacks from Fred I refuse to believe McCrazy can win in SC. It just wouldnt make sense, I dont care what the polls say.
Go Fred!
He will have to in the end. If it came down to just him and McCain. Fred would win in a landslide. Liberals like McCain because he throws them a bone once in the while.
By all means attack McAmnesty.
I just dont think McCain is a serious threat. I think he has a glass jaw. Even if nobody lays a glove on him he will not win the nomination.
But I consider Huckster to be the biggest embarrasment to the GOP (after Ron Paul).
Actually, I was talking about the ultimate "Big Guy", but you are right about McCain's "issues". He simply can't be President.
Fred is going to win this one and he will place well ahead of Romney. Romney has pulled his ads in SC and Florida. He knows those states are lost to him. His only reprieve will come in the NorthEast and of course Utah.
Politics is a blood sport, be careful what you wish for .....
Hit Huck and hit him hard Fred...You have South carolina to yourself while Huck tries to con Michigan --- DEFINE HIS SORRY LIBERAL ARSE!!!!!!
“McCain could have 100% of every state in the union and he would still not get the nod.”
You keep saying that, but I don’t know what you’re basing that on. I know McCain is hated on this forum, but plenty of Average Joe GOP voters will support him. I know plenty of people that have no problem with McCain, and he does seem to be picking up momentum. He’s not a lock by any stretch, but his odds are better at the moment than Freds, and probably as good or a shade better than Mitts.
If McCain continues to be correct about the war and the only candidate talking specific talk on how to win it he will win the nomination. Why is he the only one talking winning the war with any specifics and how can other candidates hope to win the primary against him with his having undeniably backed the surge when others were ducking if they do not get some strategic thinking that is specific going?
People trust those of us who live in the South -- Fred does not have to attack MCCain -- McCain is Despised down here. 25% is all he will ever get -- he IS AT HIS PEAK NOW!
Fred has to take out the rest of the field!!!
In SC Rudy is a non-factor (New Yawker is all that needs to be said). Romney has taken himself out by announcing he is abandoning the state.
That leaves one person to take out in SC -- and it happens to be the one person that is the KEY TO THE ENTIRE SOUTH!!!!!
TAKE OUT HUCK AND FRED WINS EVERY SOUTHERN STATE - IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE (**this offer void in Florida - I.E. New Yawk South)
I hope Fred makes a trip over to “Hot Air” to get the real truth about the Democrat supporting Huck.
The Huck who has called conservatives “shiite” republicans.
What a tool.
Don’t say that! Just one more to put the nail in Slick Willard’s coffin!
