Laura Ingraham supports Romney
Is Thompson still in the race? Who knew?
No conservatives allowed in the GOP big tent.
If only, if only...
Fred had shown some real fire.
I heard the same thing. They are also figuring he will back McCain. Supposedly so will Huck and Rooty.
Hope its just more bad rumor, you never know with FOX these days.
I don’t see Huckabee as a serious factor. It’s between McCain and Romney now.
Laura ... got it from Fox... who got it from Campaign Carl.
You hearing this?
Who will he endorse?
Who WILL he endorse?
Is he also positioning himself for a VP selection?
With Hunter gone, I might have talked myself into voting for Fred.
If he’s out, then I’m out.
Note their platforms, cripplecreek. They all run as conservatives, even though those supported by the media (and thus getting the largest # of votes) aren’t actually so conservative by record.
That’s the real shame, but I suppose it’s the natural effect of things having been pretty good for so long: most voters don’t feel compelled to look more deeply.
I have heard nothing yet other than keep on keeping on.
Yep she has for a while now. FOX is certainly no friend of Fred AT ALL. FOX has been pushing Rooty McRomBee for months.
When Fred says it ...then its word.
When Carl says it ...better look outside and see if its raining.
Sounds like the old game PASSWORD to me...Carl does NOT say he’s dropping

As we have previously reported Fred Thomspon is in Tennessee visiting his 90 plus year old mother who is recovering from an illness
There will be no decisions today as Thompson mulls whether to carry on his bid for the presidency but he is expected to say something definitive tomorrow, probably first thing in the morning.
While no one in the campaign will be surprised if he withdraws they have no idea which way he will go and they do have some money if he should decide to continue.
Aides acknowledge the obvious: SC was very disappointing and 3rd place was not a momentum builder in their view.
On 8 Jan the campaign staff a took pay cut and Thompson knows he owes his staffers some certainty so they can plan for their future, especially younger staffers who need a paycheck.
Fredheads nationwide are waiting too…..
IMO, When Fred goes, the GOP candidate menu will be reduced to the culinary equivalents of lutefisk, liver mush and haggis.
I suspect that the GOP establishment will now focus on boosting McCain and getting Romney out of the race, if possible.
Hillary will win in November.
Fred, we hardly knew ye.
