I read it somewhere maybe 2 days ago. It might be just some manufactured ‘quotes’ from Thompson.

I think he can still stay in if he beats expectations, which means finishing within single digits of two frontrunners in Iowa. Since this can prove he has some momentum, and voters are starting to doubt both Mitt and Huck.

If Fred finishes in 3rd with double digits loss, he will not be able to survive.

Well I think I can speak for most on this thread when I say: Excuse the F out of me...I failed to recognize your credentials.

Here is the entire piece from CBS News ( he did not say he would quit if he didn't finish second):

Thompson: "I Need to Come in Second"

" To finish second in Iowa, Thompson has a lot of ground to make up. While Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are both polling in the 27 to 28 percent range, Thompson is neck and neck with John McCain at around 11 percent. When asked if he would stay in the race if he finished third, he said “I’m not going to talk about things like that.”

He did talk about the consistency of his presidential run. “Let the political world swirl around me and let everyone run their attack ads and spend their money and spin their wheels and all that,” he said. “But I’m going to be the same. It’s worked for me pretty well in my career, being Fred, and I’m going to continue to be Fred.”

Nice try. BZZZZZT. Wrong answer.

Since you're a noob, here's some advice: don't come around here spouting stuff like that unless you can back it up else fellow FReepers will pound you into the ground.

The way it is around here... get used to it or get lost.

Again, cite your source.

“If Fred finishes in 3rd with double digits loss, he will not be able to survive.”

On what do you base this?

[prairiebreeze]

The “quote” you refer to was from a CBS source, I believe. Hardly what most posters on this forum would consider to be reliable. And to my knowlege, it reamains unsupported and unsubstantiated from any other source.

I took a brief glance at your brief posting history. You don’t like Fred, (or at least you post repeatedly that he can’t win) you don’t like McCain, you don’t like Huckabee, you acknowlege that Hunter isn’t a realistic option....

Can I deduce then that you are a Mitt-mutt? With your sign up date of 12-29-07 of course.

I sure they WERE manufactured, just not by Fred or his folks.
