Has it occured to anyone here that the so called “conservative agenda” isn’t shared by all Republicans?

That leaves only Ron Paul .. the MSM and Fox will try to marginalize him just as they did Fred.

Actually, Fred’s biggest problem is that he isn’t willing to pander and never saw the need to ‘dumb down’ a speech.

Don’t make me remind people of Miss South Carolina, it’s too embarrassing and far too sad. Unfortunately, she is the poster child of a majority of graduates of American public school systems…

Fred’s problem was that he failed to utilize the operative words “race” or “running” when considering his bid for the presidency. They don’t call it “crawling” or “strolling” for the office. Fred wasn’t in the “race”; he was almost always in the “crawl”. Crawlers don’t win the presidency.

This is a sad, sad, and dark day for America. Stormwarning, did it ever occur to you that those “hordes” (note sp) may be ALOT SMARTER THAN YOU? If it didn’t occur to you, it should have.

Well, he’s out. So what are you going to do? Find another topic to write about? He wasn’t in it from the beginning (you’ve gotta be in it to win it) and never really had his heart in it. Just because apparent hoards on the Internet and blogosphere favored him, didn’t make him win. Same thing with some of the other marginal candidates.

Fred needs to get out now. We need to narrow down the field, so someone can come to the front (other than McCain). McCain isn’t a true conservative and we will be stuck with him if we don’t get united behind someone else. I would prefer Huckabee, but anyone but McCain or Guiliani.

Fred Thompson should stay. I believe the support he needs will be there by the Feb. 5th primaries.The field is still close enough to for him to stay in.

Yes,Thompson should get out while he can and deal with Jeri’s ambition later. He’s not going to be in the Florida debates, so I guess he thinks he’s out, too, without making an official announcement.

Thompson should talk with Romney and figure out a way to work together. It would probably involve Thompson dropping out of the race, to stop pulling votes from Romney which is keeping this race so muddled. Thompson could serve in President Romney’s cabinet or possibly be the VP.

Those two are the true full spectrum conversatives (only Romney with tremendously more support, strength, money, delegates, debate success, actual victories, and so forth).

The reason Thompson needs to drop is because he has already taken two “last stands” in which he was “all in” and he just cannot win a state.
