Fred Thompson just spoke to his supporters in South Carolina, where he appears headed for a weak third or fourth place finish. Thompson thanked everyone and then spoke about America and conservatism's contribution to it. He did not talk about Florida or being in the race to stay.
Word is that Thompson will return to Tennessee to visit his mother in the hospital. While he's there, presumably, he'll consider his options. Frankly, and I say this with regret, it's difficult to see the case for him remaining in the race.

Prayer for his mom.
Prayers up for Fred’s Mom.
indeed, prayers.
And it’s a damn shame. I just had a friend over tonight who is very liberal and he is his choice.
Prayers for his dear mother. God bless.
Prayers, but I bet Momma says to him “win it Fred, win it”
He has a lot of reason to stay in the race.
To give anti-McCain southerners an alternative to Huckabee, and because the nomination is heading towards a brokered convention where he would be the only one who could unite the fractured GOP.
No matter what, Huckabee still must be stopped, and Fred is the best person to ensure that.
Now is the time to contribute to Fred!
Fred will be Mc Cains Running Mate
I hope Fred doesn’t lose her...that is the last thing he needs now.
Prayers For his Mom
I hadn’t heard that before. Where did you hear that?
Fred said he would not be anyone's VP, that would include McCain.
Kindly this is not the thread for this, please respect this for prayers and good thoughts!
Why all these calls for Thompson to drop out?
I don’t see similar calls for Rudy to drop out, and he hasn’t even registered?
Um, could it be that Rudy is a RINO and a RINO is what the media wants?@#$!?
Nuts, I say Fred.
Stick with it to the end, and take your delegates to the convention, where you will become the nominee.

My Wife’s Dad passed on Thursday after years of poor health. Fred, take care of your Mom. The Republican Party is bent on destroying itself and you can’t save it.
God and family come first. Be with your Mom in her final days.
