Point is kind of moot until the man quits, and he has not done that.

Indeed I am hearing it is onward and upward.

So maybe you are jumping the gun a bit?

What was that old saying about a wish in one hand?

If Thompson were to endorse McCain it would prove that the GOP does not deserve the support of conservatives.

It quite frankly would be shocking if he did, the right thing to do would be to endorse none of these creatures.

There’s no one worth Freds endorsement. I will never vote for McCain. This country doesn’t deserve to go thru another Klinton. She is definitely a communist Got a kid to donate? Who’s?

If Fred isn’t running, then I support no one. No one else in this race is worth my time and effort.

I have two candidates remaining: Fred, if he is still in it, and Romney.


I'd rather be waterboarded than vote for McCain.

Hewitt is a moron and in the bag for Flipp Mittens.

He left Paul out as a ‘major candidate’ even though he took 2nd in Nevada yesterday... beating Rudy in every race.

I hate Rudy but I voted for him in this stupid poll, just to add noise.

Duncan Hunter > Romney and NEVER McCain:

McCain-Feingold
Gang of 14
Kerry/McCain?

the guy doesn’t represent me, a conservative, in any way. And I think he would lose big-time.

"Who would you now support?"
Fred




"Also for Fred supporters only, if Fred endorses McCain, what impact would it have on your vote?"


NONE!

Although Morman politicians generally support local control, small government and property rights, I am not so sure about Romney. It concerns me that so far he has bought the election. I am concerned when personal wealth and the ability to purchase exposure with it seems to be the main determinent in a successful race.

Nevertheless, I would never vote for Guilliani, Huckabee or McCain. I hope Fred stays in the game We need to keep conservatives in the Republican game and give voters a refuge when they eventually run from the other candidates.

I will be voting for Fred Thompson. If he should drop out and support John McCain at some later, date - that is his choice. However, I won't support McCain.

Furthermore, I am not so sure Thompson will support McCain. He may be like a lot of us - discouraged by a field of men who don't really get us excited about voting for them. By November, I'll probably be more excited to vote AGAINST Clinton or Obama.

One last thought, both of my daughters will vote for President for the very first time - 20 and 18 years old. They realize that in big scheme of things, the President is almost powerless - the ones we need to focus on are both houses of Congress. It's time for them to go.

My first inclination is that if I support an unacceptable Republican JUST because he is a Republican, then I will be obliged to do so again in 2012 if he wins, and that man will almost certainly be replaced by a Democrat (Obama probably) in 2016 who may, in turn, be relected.

So, in practical effect, a victory by McCain in 2008 is a victory for 16 years of conservatism out of power.

I’ll take my chances with 4 years of Hillary now rather than vote for that.

there are, however, two exceptions.

1. i will support ANY other Republican until Huckabee is defeated. i cannot risk his election.

2. IF Romney or rudy were the nominee, and he was wise enough to choose one of my conservative heroes (J.C. Watts, Ideally) as his running mate, I would support him.

In fact, I expect I could get pretty enthusiastic about a Romeny/Watts ticket.

For now, I am sticking with Fred for as long as he is in the race.

If he drops out, I will look elsewhere.

I will NEVER vote for either Hucklebee or McLame. NEVER. Not even if Fred personally asked me to.

Isn’t McCain anti-gun rights? If so, I don’t think our votes would go to him.

I don’t know where they would go. Gun rights are about #1 on my husband’s agenda, pro-life on mine, and neither of us will support a man who is weak on the WOT.

At this point, I intend to cast my vote for Fred. There’s no one else I picture myself voting for.

Perhaps I’ll change my mind when it gets down to it, if a particularly objectionable candidate is leading, but I will likely vote for the only conservative rather than against the worst RINO.

I’m for FRed. Not interested in voting on Hewitt’s poll.

I will NOT vote for McCain or the Huckster.

Since Fred is still in the race, it’s kind of early for the media to be pronouncing him dead, isn’t it? Doesn’t he have more delegates than Rudy at this point? Why isn’t anyone asking who Rudy’s supporters will vote for since he’s not doing that well yet?
