Although I believe that Thompson's positions are still the most conservative of the remaining candidates (that is, the positions that they state), followed by Romney, Huckabee, McCain, and Rudy (and I will not vote for Rudy in any case)...I have a sinking impression that Thompson is going to benefit his friend McCain in this.

He is drawing delegates and votes, and as long as he stays in, I will support him. But, I fear that if he drops out, that he will throw his support behind McCain.

I hope I am wrong...and I would really rather see Thompson as the ultimate candidate...but my gut tells me he is going to end up supporting McCain, which I will not do.

Duncan Hunter was my first choice, but he is gone now...followed by Thompson (enthusiastically), Romney (less enthusiastically), Huckabee and McCain thereafter (holding nose), and voting write-in or third party if its Rudy vs, Hillary...and as I have explained before this is because I personally will not put my name down in support of anyone who is an open supporter of abortion or homsexuality.

I guess we'll wait and see.

Thank you for your input.

What are your thoughts on a McCain/Thompson ticket?

(I'm a Thompson supporter)

Therefore....

[drum roll]

.....we need to keep Thompson in the race.

Jeff -

Any possibility of Thompson as the VP for McCain? (Just a Sunday afternoon musing.)

I find the current power of the media astounding. Fred is the non-candidate. If they can cut him out of a photograph, they do.I had to make several clicks on the web to find out where Fred placed in Iowa and New Hampshire. Was there a primary somewhere in the South yesterday? Can't tell in the mainstream media.

Have we all become such sheep?

I am going to have to find more pennies to send to Fred. This is ridiculous. My friends and family who sway to the media's tune (Huckabee, McCain....) - what in the world? They are pretty principled, but not students of propaganda like I am.

So, a stay-at-home mother of 5 has got to scrimp to send money to a campaign (Fred's!), as a small sandbag against the flood of RINO's overtaking the GOP. Where are the sober defenders of principle and truth? Freedom? I'm not taking this lying down, but what more can 1 person do?

I feel as you do but will hold my nose and vote for just about anyone to beat the bitch or the affirmative action candidate for Islam.
