Hunter has dropped out. Fred is running a strong third in South Carolina. Let us keep a conservative in the race and show Fred that we don't want him to drop out!

We have raised $1,204,143 out of the $1.5 million goal. Let's keep Fred in through Super Tuesday.

Hunter and Thompson were the top for Me, The wife, and it would be great if Thompson will add Hunter as VP.

The media says “he doesn’t have the fire in the belly.” He is all over the place, what do they want him to do? It is a shame Hunter did poorly. A McCain or Huck win could mean an end to the GOP as we know it. I would stay home.

I believe Fred could win against McCain, Huckabee, Giuliani or Romney, if it were down to just two viable choices (e.g, Fred vs. McCain, Fred vs. Huckabee, Fred vs. Giuliani or Fred vs. Romney.) That suggests he should stay in until most of the others fade or drop out.

I'm looking at the latest count from S.C. Thompson has a sufficient lead on Romney that he WILL come in third. That means he will still be in the race. I remember a race horse named Silky Sullivan. He would lag to the back of the pack. But then, at the head of the back stretch he would bunch his muscles and begin to run, and run, and run, and win the race going away.

I thought he dropped out - wasn’t that his concession speech?

I am soooooooooo sick of Fox News and their coverage of Fred. I heard Fred say that he is headed to TN tonight because his mother is IN THE HOSPITAL! Did you hear that?
All of the stupid talking heads have latched onto that as a foretelling that he is getting out of the race.
AAAARRRHHH!

Agreed.

It was way to long for me into his speech before I knew it wasn't going to be a "Thanks for all your support, but I am stepping aside."

By the end of the speech I was buoyed into knowing he will stay in for the sake of, "not me - not you - but for OUR COUNTRY!!!"

GO FRED GO!!! The only viable Republican candidate. The one the entire DNC fears the most. Get this shyte outta the south and send these hillbillies voting on ridiculous issues and the manipulation of the MSM back to their chicken farms. Freds in it to win it.

Thats what these sorry SOB's at the RNC don't understand.

The number of conservatives who will refuse to vote for McInsane, Huckster, or MYTH will be massive.

Let Obama or Klintoon try to pass universal health care and tax increases, I'll be damned if I vote for a Republican that will do the same thing.

All but.

He won’t drop out tonight. Tomorrow probably. By this time next week, certainly.

The obvious media black out on anything Fred is so obvious.

It doesn’t matter how hard he campains, media just doesn’t cover it. He draws good crowds, media just won’t show them.

This is criminal.

Yep, I was just going to say, I think the only reason he's staying in is to help out his buddy McCain by taking votes away from Huckabee.

He’s already said we’re going to Florida. Maybe you should keep up.

Huck isn’t getting the evangelical vote tonight, so where can his candidacy go? Fred needs to at least wait to see if Huck drops out, cuz he would pick up a LOT of Huck people, IMHO.
