Fred Thompson is out
    #7914585 - 01/22/08 12:56 PM (16 years, 10 days ago)

who does this benefit?

Im gonna say either mccain or huckabee. I think Fred is friends with McCain, but his supporters seems to be more of the huckabee crowd.

So i'll say huckabee

Fred is endorcing McCain.

I think Freds vote is going to scatter between mostly McCain, some to Huck and a little to Paul.

Yeah, his 3% of the vote should make or break someone.

What a joke this candidacy was.

I've been hearing it for the last week. If I find a source, I'll post it.

Okay, I learned why their was talk of it. Fred supported McCain against Bush so people figure he will remain a McCain supporter.


Scratch the official endorcement unless someone finds a source.

I would be VERY surprised if Fred endorses McCain, the ersatz Conservative. The only candidate more unlike Fred than McCain is Huckabee, a tax and spend liberal. Why on earth would anybody think either of those two RINOs would be supported or helped by a Fred dropout and/or endorsement when he was probably the most purely conservative out there?

Here is a poll asking the Fredheads at Sean Hannity's forum, who they are going to go too.

So far it's

Romney 25 54.35%
Paul 9 19.57%
Huckabee 5 10.87%
McCain 4 8.70%
Rudy 3 6.52%

Speaking of the tax and spend liberal, how much longer can Huckabee last? Everything I have been reading about him says he is out of money. He can't pay his campaign staffers and they have been bailing rather than working for free.

> Rudy 3 6.52%

I am really curious if Rudy's strategy is going to work or bite him. Is getting hit with the unelectable stick because of his poor early showings going to hold him back on Super Tuesday? Will ignoring early primary states and focusing on Super Tuesday states pay off?

Finally, with the field getting narrowed down, how is Fox Entertainment News going to manage to keep Paul out of the future debates? Guess they are going to have to buy a smaller mobile studio.

What a joke of a candidate he was! Perfect example of a media-drafted stooge. All they talked about was fred, fred, fred when the guy wasn't even running yet getting everyone all hyped up about him. Without the media bullshit he would never even have ran. The media has waaaaay to much power over our country and no check or balance to it at all. They used to be a check on govt now they are an arm of the govt with no checks to be had on anything. How much longer until people get tired of their shit and stand up for themselves? Maybe after ration cards and breadlines?

I think it's going to funnel more votes in the Sam Waterson direction.

Regardless of who he endorses, I think his votes will help Huckabee more than McCain, and I think a lesser extent of them will go to Ron Paul. Certainly some of his votes will go to other candidates, but Thompson is much more supported in the South, and it should seem clear that his votes down there will go to Huckabee.

This is great for Ron Paul, because Huckabee will be the next candidate to drop out, perhaps a race between Huckabee and Giuliani. I'm hoping Huckabee holds on a bit longer though, because he needs to lag slightly behind Romney and McCain and a be a force working agansit them, especially Romney.

I personally would like to see Giuliani win Florida just to help keep McCain from appearing like he is becoming the imminent candidate. Giuliani is short on cash as well. At any rate, this isn't going to be over after Super Tuesday, and it seems likely to be a race towards a brokered convention.

Meanwhile, Ron Paul will be in the race until the end. His standing to either candidate then would decide the nomination, not ruling out the possibility that he continues to build momentum, especially as others drop out. I personally think Ron Paul is campaigning for vice president, which will give him more ability to affect change, leading the Senate. After all, he's got much more Congressional experience than executive branch experience, and it would seem likely that he could get concessions for his foreign policy stance if it is tied directly in with the troubled economy, as it is anyways.
