Fred is Out of the Race

You're right, Paully. He got in too late and never caught up. There was always this anticipation of him making a big announcement - "will he or won't he?" - and that didn't help. I liked him and would have loved to see him as the President.

I'm sure he could go right back to Law & Order if he wanted. His character is still a part of the show.

A non scientific poll was taken on the local talk radio show yesterday and the question was asked to Tennesseans, if Fred is out who do you vote for now?

80% Romney
10% McCain
10% Huckabee

Of course due to early voting Fred may have already captured some delegates here. Who knows I may vote Thompson anyhow. He is one of the few people that I have voted for that I can honestly say kept their word and represented.

I am bothered by this. I really think he is the one who could have been great. I really like him and think he would have been able to win. I cant see Mccain , I really cant. I feel I would rather have guliani and fred as vice then have mccain. Matter of fact i would vote that way if they combined.

I hate to say this if something really good or drastic does not happen be ready for hilary....

Guliani is the only person worse than McCain in my opinion. Guliani has so many scandals and so much baggage, he would be totally unelectable. At least McCain could possibly win. The only thing I like about McCain is his support for winning the war and his bravery during his captivity in Vietnam. I disagree with him on nearly every issue.

Thus, I'm left with Romney and Huckabee.

I agree to a point I just cant see mccain that is why i said that. Huck and fred would be a good combo becuase fred could get the support that huckabee could not and vice versa. I just really think mccain is out there, i admire all he has done but we need someone right for this time.

I remember when bush had a 75 percent approval right after 9-11 and going into Irag now look..... we need someone to rally us together again.

I've noticed many of you have posted a disdain for McCain while praising Thompson. To those of you have feel that way what do you think of the very real possibility that Thompson is going to endorse McCain?

MacUser · Postby **MacUser** » January 23rd, 2008, 4:18 am

I have thought of this very thing and cringe at the possibility. It would be silly for him to endorse anyone at this point. It takes him immediately out of the VP running. It would be wise to wait... and he's done that already.. so this would be in character.

People fault him for waiting so long though I applaud him for not playing the game. These primaries are getting out of hand. Some people have been campaigning for 2 years. Thompson's poll numbers were at their highest before he got in.
It was reported here locally that his mother has fallen ill. I hope she's not bad but I also hope that's not being used as an excuse.

The only ones I have heard that have mentioned him doing that are mentioning them being good friends from their time in the Senate together.

Fendig is out as well. Haven't heard about him? Don't feel bad, I hadn't heard of him until it was announced on the Jacksonville news yesterday, and he is from SE Georgia....
