Fred needs to fight on all the way to the convention. He can succeed at the GOP convention where Ronald Reagan failed in 1976. Freds fight will be on the convention floor, for leadership and party unity.
Fred has an important job to do still. He must keep the nomination far out of reach of Mike Huckabee. And he must bring the party together as the consensus conservative choice when no candidate comes up with enough delegates to win the nomination.
Keep on fighting Fred!

The Vice President spot is still up for grabs and who could play the part better than an actor?

I would not welcome such a development.
If Fred’s not steering the Ship of State, then the cabin boy must be.
I want the Captain at the wheel.

The campaign needs to retool. Got to figure out how to break Huck’s hold over the churches, and he’s going to have to enlist Giuliani and Romney as de facto allies. And everyone needs to pound McCain.

In spite of what a lot of people around here think, I do believe that only McCain will be able to get enough independent and swing votes to BEAT HILLARY.
Huckabee sure as hell can't do it. Neither can Mitt and I'm not sure about Rudy.
The mere thought of Bill Clinton living in the White House again is disgusting and depressing.
Of course, if Obama beats Hillary, then it all over as no Republican will beat him. But at least Bill won't be in the White House again.

So what do you guys make of everyone saying Fred will drop out after Florida and endorse McCain? McCain!! Makes no sense whatever to me. Would he do that?

What was the last check, 55% of Americans said they’d never vote for Hillary? She has the largest negatives of any major contender, and should be the easiest to beat; far easier to actually present a choice to the voters as Hillary has to continue chasing after the far left who got Monica’s cigar from Bill.

Ofcourse, Rudy could do well in Florida and reenergize his campaign, but that only hurt McCain since they go for the same voters.
Huckabee doesn't have the money nor organization to keep going.
Thompson will drop as well.
Conservatives need to focus on getting good congressmen into office to keep a check on the Presidency.
Remember it was Congress, not the President, which stopped the Amnesty bill.

Fred Thompson, however, was far from making any sort of statement about bowing out of the presidential race. Thompson returned home to Virginia Saturday night. His campaign most likely is regrouping, and gearing up for another big fight in the Florida Primary.

I don't know what's next for Thompson, but I'm about to scrape my Thompson For President bumper sticker. If he can't win in the South, then he's pretty much finished.

Everyone is saying that?
More like the Red October media that has been trying to torpedo his campaign since he got in, fuel by *uckabee’s whisper campaign of dirty tricks.

lol! Not me, I go to extremes everyday to take care of my customers. Have been for thirty years next week. However, there are those who don’t cater to the customer as seriously as I do. Mostly newer and younger employees who don’t understand the value of satisfied customers. Those types really irritate me, too.

History is not a SIMPLE guide!
It must be interpreted as somethings changed in the world,in US society,and on the political stage.
Then many parameters have to be taken into account to understand correctly the teachings of History.
How many and what kind of candidates were there in the 2000 primary elections on the Republican side?....As an example

This was a primary where most people voting were either independents or evangelicals.
Just have patience, Fred’s time is about to come, now that we’re finally getting to closed primaries with only Republicans voting and where pastors don’t hold sway over the voters.

"Hucks hold over the churches" Do the churches in the south have that kind of herd mentality?
