It is a bit depressing when a home state paper leaves Fred for dead and even more discouraging that his staff (while Fred is with his mother) is not reacting to the rumors of Fred's dropping out.

At this point with an ailing mother and young children at home, I could understand why Fred may want to step off the campaign trail.

On to St. Paul!

Interesting that the naysayers are all out in Tenn this AM.

Fred edges out the front runner in SC and they say he is on life support?

These first few primaries don't mean diddly-squat, especially if Rudy wins Florida. If that happens, he's 2 delegates shy of jumping ahead of Romney for first place.

February 5th is the big day for the Republicans, and Missouri is the only southern state that has a winner-take-all prize. That does not bode well for Huckabee or McCain. They are cash strapped, and will have a very difficult chance of winning the large winner-take-all states.

I will support Fred as long as he is in, but I I suspect the race is going to come down to Rudy and Romney.

"A call to Thompson’s campaign headquarters went unanswered. A spokeswoman did not return a call on her cell phone."

No need to add anything to that about the state of Thompson's candidacy.

If Fred stays in now, it will be for the sole purpose of helping McCain.

Care to speculate who Fred might endorse if he does drop out?

Fred must win. He’s the only one telling the truth.

The question about the rest of the candidates is this: since the use of deception is the only way they can get votes, how do they feel about themselves when they go to sleep at night?

Especially the ones who claim to be Christian, and the ones endorsed by the pro-atheist NEA (that’s you, Huckabee).

And what about the candidates claiming to support the military? Who were they supporting when they railed against Guantanamo (that’s you, McCain) or when they degraded our President and our Secretary of Defense during a time of war, thus emboldening our enemy and likely causing more troop deaths (that’s you McCain).

How can we think of McCain as anything but a traitor?

A vote for anyone but Fred is a vote for Hillary or Obama, which translates into a vote for terrorists.

How do you tell the difference between John McCain and a jihad terrorist?

McCain is the one more likely to explode into a blind rage.

How do you tell the difference between Huckabee and a closet atheist?

-Huckabee is more politically active.

I would love to see him stick with it until at least until Super Tuesday, but this weekend was not good news for him or us Fred Heads. Not that he did not come in first, we didn’t expect he would - but because nobody was talking about him on the Sunday news programs. I didn’t here his name mentioned even once. They talked about Mitt, McCain, Huckabee, Paul, and even Rudy, and he did even worse than Fred did, but it was like they all got the same memo which said don’t talk about Fred.

Interesting how the red pickup is gone from here:

http://www.fred08.com/

and the “thankyou South Carolina” video wasn’t even posted on his website but some blog site.

Hmmmmm a glass of warm milk and a long nap - that's the ticket.

Then again, letting the other candidates burn out & drop out first might be a good idea. Huckabee running out of cash, McCain wins SC but likely nowhere else, likewise others ... After all the flash and wow wears down, a solid no-games no-fluff conservative emerges and wins.

The primary season started too early. Maybe Fred realized that, and is spinning it to his advantage.

And yes, an ailing mother is a good reason to not race on to the next campaign stop to thrill people who are already going to vote for him.

The Nashville City Paper is a liberal rag. This is one of those free at bars and restaurants “news papers”. The kind where the entertainment section is 90% of the paper and their biggest advertisers are the strip clubs and “personals”.

Prayers for FRed’s mom.

**Is this the end of Fred’s run?**

NONONONONONONONONONONO!

I wish the media would get the message.

But then I must remember that the lamestream media has lamestream minds! <sarcasm/
