Fred needs to stay in and see how this mess plays out.

I’m sick of Romney supporters (Lopez, Hewitt) stating that Fred should get out.

Maybe Fred can finish pushing through Title X if he gets in!

If you don’t know what it is, look it up and you’ll throw up a little.

At this point , Fred should leave the race. He is only running interference for John McCain at this point.

I think if Fred planned on staying in he would have said so. He has to know that by not saying anything about going on to Florida and/or beyond, it would hurt him in fund raising and organization. It also lets all of the news show say he is getting out, which has to have cost him some support.

Fred should stay and fight on.

Fred08.com has a new homepage photo, with attached paragraphs explaining Fred’s plans to beef up the military.

I think this is a good sign.

He should only leave if it won’t help McCain.

“I think if Fred planned on staying in he would have said so. He has to know that by not saying anything about going on to Florida and/or beyond, it would hurt him in fund raising and organization.”

Ding ding, we have a winner.

Fred will be out after Florida, if not before.

If he can’t win in SC, where can he win?

Rudy will be competing with McCain for the same votes in FL, so the logic that Fred splitting votes with Huck is clearing the way for McCain there is seriously flawed.

Fred’s team is going to need a serious grassroots organization effort to get 2nd in FL. They are going to have to make some changes to make it happen.

The practical consequence of Thompson's presence so far has been to hand South Carolina to McCain. It's seems unlikely that this dynamic will change in other southern states. All Thompson is managing to do is to split the conservative vote and clear the way for McCain.

What a steaming load of crap.

You are correct. A Fred departure gives a big boost to Huckleberry.

According to the poll on FOX, over 60% say he should stay in. Can’t argue with a poll!

Is that 60% of the New Hampshire voters, or 60% of Michigan?

“If he can’t win in SC, where can he win?”

In South Carolina many supporters of McCain or Huckabee (or Romney) are strong supporters of Thompson, in fact many say they like Thompson best.

But they haven’t voted for him because they believe the media hype that Fred’s campaign has “sizzled” or that he “can’t win.”

This clarifies the picture somewhat. Thompson’s support is much higher than primary results suggest.

Good point....man has Rudy so disappeared every one has forgotten him

Rudy will cut into McCain’s support....and Mccain has yet to face any serious Rudy campaigning

Fred IMO should stay in race after Super Tuesday. With the possiblity of this being a brokered convention no candidate should even think of dropping out

Jeez. If Hewitt were cheerleading any harder, he'd need pom poms.

I've given up listening to his show. I don't need a Romney infomercial.
