That’s because Huck wants to be McCain’s running mate. A match made in RINO hell.

[blackbart.223]

"Thompson? Why not blame Huckabee himself? Or McCain? This guy is maddening. I blame Huckabee for Thompson getting third place instead of second."

Amen. Huckabee should shut up and go away but I'm afraid that won't happen.

Hey, Huck! Thompson is just taking back his votes from you.

[SaxxonWoods]

You can’t deny that Thompson was hounding him.

Heh, heh.

You wrote “hounding” about Huckleberry, er, Huckabee.

Go Fred!

[Gabz]

Just when I thought this campaign could go any lower...........SHEESH.

[commish]

Personally I think Huckabee prevented Thompson from beating McCain. Huckabee should drop out and let a REAL Conservative win.

[rightazrain]

Fred, hang in there for the Thursday debate and give ‘em hell!

[bpjam]

This is just delusional. Fred stayed in ‘just to take votes away from Huckabee’??? How incredibly selfish and deranged. As if Fred raised millions of dollars just so he could hang around long enough to screw over the Hick from Hope.

Sounds like Mike has developed an ego of McCain proportions.

[wardaddy]

Actually he is right.

If Thompson weren’t in it he would have gotten more Fred votes than Queeg.

I tell ya....around here (Music City)...after Fred leaves, it’s all over the board to be honest
there’s no telling

Huckabee Blames Thompson for His Second Place Showing as GOP Candidate Race

Well, even if Thompson drops out tomorrow he'll have done his country a great service.

[Route66]

Mike is a dirty campaigner and a whiner. His vote is being eroded by his own behavior and his own words.

[ReluctantDragon]

That was really well said. I agree with you completely.

I am not giving up on Thompson.

[xzins]

That’s where I’m at, too.

I looked at the Constitution Party but their idea of the greatest candidate in the world to head their party is.....(I couldn’t believe it).....Ron Paul.

I haven’t looked at the Libertarian website lately. The Reformed Party was always goofy, and when they had the floating candidate 2 elections ago, I wondered if they’d entered a Scientology contest.

[commish]

Notice that he doesn’t blame McCain instead he applauds McCain. Huck hasn’t said a bad word or a word of disagreement with McCain. Yet his campaign crys foul because they said Fred hasnt gone after McCain. And now its all Freds fault some of us think that Huck is a lying loser.

That is because Huck is running to be McCain's VP. Then if McCain has health problems he can back into an office he can't win himself -- much like he did in Arkansas (although there it was corruption)

[georgiagirl_pam]

Amen Brother! (or sister, I’m not sure from your name)
Go Fred!

[popdonnelly]

Excellent reason for Fred to stay in the race.

[ari-freedom]

Huck if you weren’t such a nannylib there would be no need for Fred’s campaign

[gusopol3]

"The snow pretty much – not only froze the streets of the Greenville-Spartanburg area, but the votes came to a stop when it started snowing. That was an area where we had really looked forward to get a heavy and significant vote margin.”

for a guy who virtually claimed divine intervention after/(during?) Iowa ("it's like the five loaves and two fish") , this is weak.

[reasonisfaith]

I worked the Thompson campaign in SC. On Saturday Huckabee’s tactic was to push deceptive calls to voters. He sent the message that Fred “couldn’t win,” so therefore vote Huckabee.

Volunteers for Thompson were given scripts to counter these deceptive tactics. The campaign staff didn’t tell us which candidate was putting out the deception, and the scripts only mentioned “opponents.” How’s that for honest, principled campaigning by Thompson?

How can anyone think Hucklebee is anything but a dishonest fraud?

[ari-freedom]

yes mccain would be the new Dole. why I think kemp even supports mccain
