Rush must endorse Fred before Saturday!

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of South Carolina’s Republican Presidential Primary shows that John McCain and Mike Huckabee are tied at 24%. In a race that has already seen four different candidates with the lead, much could still change in the coming days—7% of voters have yet to make up their mind, 10% say there’s a good chance they could change their mind, and another 24% might change their mind.

Mitt Romney attracts 18% support and Fred Thompson 16%. Those figures are little changed from the previous survey

BOTTOM LINE: McCAIN MUST BE BEATEN.

My suggestion: Pick the candidate who has the best chance of beating him (except for Giuliani).

People are silly to attribute thoughts and feelings to Rush Limbaugh.

This article is just wishful thinking on the authors part.

A vote for Thonmpson is a vote for McCain and Thompson ONLY as McCains running mate or Thompson being in McCains cabinet. Fred has no REAL interest in winning. Period.

I predict Rush will soon publicly endorse Mitt Romney.

Rush seems to feel he may be forced to settle for Romney, but he’s not the clear conservative among the front runners. He’s made it clear he’s not happy with Mitt’s leftward leanings.

So, you’re saying that Fred Thompson is a liar.

He badly wants to throw the full weight of conservatism behind that candidate.

If that were the case, I doubt that Rush would be holding back. Rush isn't the 'shy' type.

Another guy wanting to claim a virtual endorsement for Thompson from Rush, who has clearly and articulately stated why he doesn’t and won’t endorse anybody, and has also clearly and articulately stated that he would find THREE candidates as acceptable.

Frankly, at some point, trying to force your views on Rush, when he clearly will not do so himself, is disrespectful.

The RNC does not want Fred or Duncan in the race and the elite NE Rino’s don’t want them either.......The RNC is about broke; but they don’t care; it is about moving the party to the left and be dem lites.

Folks,

Rasmussen 01/16 - 01/16.... McCain: 24, Huckabee: 24

(Other polls have McCain ahead.)

What is it?! What do people have against Fred?

McCain- Liberal on tax cuts, immigration, free speech. He has the Keating 5 scandal.

Huckabee- Corrupt, hands out benefits to illegals, populist.

Guiliani-Abortion, gun-grabber, liberal.

Romney-I could see myself holding my nose and voting for him, but he seems so phony and carefully crafted. I don’t know exactly where he stands.

Fred- “Lacks fire in the belly” That’s the main complaint? Compared to all of the other’s negatives?

Simply writing the word “period” at the end of a random wild-ass guess does not give your random wild-ass guess any more credibility.
