Fredhead poll Update: A decision coming Tuesday?

Patrick Ruffini is running the poll, which asks two questions.
#1. If Fred drops out of the race, who will you support?
#2. If Fred drops out and endorses McCain, what impact will that have on your vote?
Before you Fredheads yell at me about this poll, consider that Fred declared that South Carolina was his stand state and he finished third there. Also consider that at some point, people have to start dropping out of the GOP race, and Fred and Huckabee are probably the most likely major candidates to drop out at this point. Huckabee because South Carolina gave him a loss on what amounted to home turf, and Fred because the evidence of Fredmentum is, sadly, scant. Reality’s teeth are getting sharper by the day.
If I had my druthers, Fred would stay in, we would go to a brokered convention and Fred would end up on the ticket. But my druthers don’t seem to be accounting for much these days.
Update: Carl Cameron says there may be a decision coming Tuesday.
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.

#1) Romney
#2) I’ll never watch Law & Order again.
nosliwelyk on January 20, 2008 at 5:23 PM
#2) Oh, on my vote? F&#@ McCain. He can’t have it.
nosliwelyk on January 20, 2008 at 5:24 PM
1) McCain
2) Was going to anyways but hoping for a McCain/Thompson ticket.
Romney is just another rich country club republican. We have too many of those already
William Amos on January 20, 2008 at 5:24 PM
1. Romney in primary. No one if Huck or McCain is the nominee.
2. None
edgehead on January 20, 2008 at 5:25 PM
If Fred drops out I’m voting for Romney.
mattyj86 on January 20, 2008 at 5:25 PM
Considering that Fred will definitely endorse Mcamnesty…
I’d say Fredheads will vote McAmnesty….they did yesterday!
HaraldHardrada on January 20, 2008 at 5:25 PM
Don’t say it if you don’t mean it. :)
Nelsa on January 20, 2008 at 5:26 PM
#1. I’m not sure who I would support. There is still a lot of time for all of the others to screw it up.
#2. I would support McCain only if Fred was his running mate.
DAT60A3 on January 20, 2008 at 5:26 PM
R-U-D-Y
froghat on January 20, 2008 at 5:26 PM
Not really a Fred-head…but he’s my #2. If he endorses McCain I will think much less of Fred.
CABE on January 20, 2008 at 5:26 PM
I will support mt dead cat at this point.
I would more than likely return my dead cat to the grave and endorse any candidate that chooses Fred as a running mate.
Snooper on January 20, 2008 at 5:27 PM
Looks like Fred is done. Onto Mitt for me. I can’t stand McCain and I think I would rather see a Democrat than the biggest RINO there is in the White House.
USBB on January 20, 2008 at 5:27 PM
1. Romney.
2. No impact on my vote. I don’t want to see McCain get the nomination.
Slublog on January 20, 2008 at 5:28 PM
After a night’s rest and thinking of it, SC did us a favor by getting rid of Huckabee leaving Florida to do mop up work to get rid of McCain. I’d rather have had it in reverse order, but either way it works. I was never a Fredhead, but I hope he endorses Giuliani or Romney. His followers are smart enough not to vote for McCain, even if Fred is somehow convinced to endorse him.
SouthernGent on January 20, 2008 at 5:28 PM
Thank God there were enough South Caroloina evangelicals who weren’t fooled by the Huckster’s bogus “Christian Leader” moniker. Enough of us went for Fred to kill the Huckleberry buzz.
Now we’re pulling for Mitt to finish off McCain and his poisonous pragmatism.

1) John Bolton write-in
2) John Bolton write-in
MadisonConservative on January 20, 2008 at 5:28 PM
1. (with hesitation) Romney
2. It’ll make me want to vote for McCain even less.
But who knows? I say Fred hang tight until Super Tuesday just for the fun of it.
yo on January 20, 2008 at 5:29 PM
Oh and a Mccain/Thompson ticket is not going to happen…if anything Mccain will have to pick Huckabee as VP.
In which case I’ll be sorely disappointed!
HaraldHardrada on January 20, 2008 at 5:29 PM
Meh. Isn’t Ruffini the guy featured on Hewitt’s blog? Great. It lets us know that people who can put up with Hewitt’s over the top adoration of Mitt would support him as a 2nd choice.
Deety on January 20, 2008 at 5:29 PM
My best case scenario would be Thompson endorsing Romney prior to Florida, and we see Thompson’s totals added to Romney’s.
The odds of such an endorsement are pretty slim, sadly. Perhaps our best realistic scenario is Thompson dropping out with no endorsing, and a majority of his voters flock to Romney on their own.
locke on January 20, 2008 at 5:29 PM
I’ll keep surfing here where there are some hard-core Fredheads.
Deety on January 20, 2008 at 5:30 PM
I like Fred, but the guy reminds me of Grandpa Simpson! Whoever ran his campaign and whoever ran Giuliani’s campaign should be barred from ever working on a serious GOP candidate’s campaign again. Terrible performance by both.
Anyway, to answer the questions: (1) Rudy or Romney; (2) None, though I would begrudgingly vote for McCain in the general election.
Outlander on January 20, 2008 at 5:30 PM
I want Thompson over….
1) McCain:

2)Huckabee:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/21615320@N06/2203519293/
Other than that……I like Guilliani, he is what you see and he will protect America…….Not take any Shlt from foreign leaders or congress…….
And with a Thompson VP, be more conservative…
awesum on January 20, 2008 at 5:30 PM
1. Mitt
2. Not much - I’ll vote for McCain if he’s the nominee, but, until he is, I’ll support Romney - maybe Rudy if it comes to that.
Priscilla on January 20, 2008 at 5:31 PM
That is how I saw it. We need a Rudy/Mitt showdown.
csdeven on January 20, 2008 at 5:31 PM
If if if, this whole election is ify.
- The Cat
P.S. As for endoresments don’t mean a thing to me.
MirCat on January 20, 2008 at 5:32 PM
Romney, with Fred as his running mate.
Besides, if McCain loses the nomination, then he’ll be free to run as Hillary’s VP.
eclark1849 on January 20, 2008 at 5:33 PM
Rudy/Fred ‘08
mred on January 20, 2008 at 5:35 PM
1) My steam will be gone by then, but I guess Mitt
2) Whoever gets the GOP nod. By far the greatest priority here is to keep Hillorbarry out of the White House.
Hannibal Smith on January 20, 2008 at 5:37 PM
I won’t vote if Fred drops out…
if you don’t support the only true conservative in the running.
then you people deserve Hillary…
Kaptain Amerika on January 20, 2008 at 5:38 PM
Romney or Rudy would get my vote ONLY if Fred were on the ticket with them. Short of that, I’m staying home — no McCain/Hucabee vote ever.
TCJ on January 20, 2008 at 5:38 PM
Either way I look at it my guy will be VP at the least…I just hope it’s not under Mccain.
Giuliani/Huckabee is much better.
I still think it will be Huckabee/Bolton or Huckabee/Santorum!
HaraldHardrada on January 20, 2008 at 5:38 PM
1. No one
2. He won’t.
Bonus Round* Fred won’t be VP- EVER.
Ex-tex on January 20, 2008 at 5:39 PM
#1- Giuliani
#2- I’ll be sitting out this election. Which is a shame, because it’ll be my first vote.
Sir Andrew on January 20, 2008 at 5:40 PM
If Fred! drops out, I will vote for:
1). Hold my nose and vote for Mitt Romney
2). If Fred! endorses McPain, I will not vote for him in the primary under any circumstances.
Mooseman on January 20, 2008 at 5:41 PM
Bryan… a good poll question might be: If Fred endorses McCain, does it make you more or less likely to vote for McCain. I sense there would be a strong backlash amongst Fred Heads to see that happen.
Thompson certainly hurt Huckabee the most by being in the South Carolina race. Without him, Huckabee would have won. Patrick Ruffini had a great couple of posts about tactically voting for Huckabee to blunt McCain’s momentum. What would the race be like if Huckabee had won SC?
Dhornertx on January 20, 2008 at 5:42 PM
1. Hmmm, is Alan Keyes still in this thing?
2. How could that happen? Fred is the most conservative pro-constitution guy alive and McCain is at the other end of the spectrum. If Fred endorses McCain, that means Fred was a fraud all along. If Fred is a fraud and stalking horse for McCain, there is no reason for him to drop out now because he can leech votes from the other perceived conservative candidates all the way to convention time.
Buddahpundit on January 20, 2008 at 5:46 PM
1.) Rudy or Romney, whichever emerges strongest after Florida.
2.) Toss him on the pile of colossal disapointments alongside Newt.
SuperCool on January 20, 2008 at 5:47 PM
Mitt didnt lose SOuth Carolina because of Fred. Mitt’s main opponent is Huck they are the values candidates.
We have two social Cons in Mitt and Huck and two Foreign Policy cons in Fred and McCain. Mitt and Huck are flip sides of the same coin with Huck appealing to poorer social conservatives and Mitt appealing to the Richer social sonservatives.
I really dont get the Mitt love he is the republican’s Hillary Clinton. 62% of Americans say they would never ever vote for Mitt. He is competely unelectible.
William Amos on January 20, 2008 at 5:50 PM
1) Romney
2) It’s all about message, not about the candidate himself. I’m sticking with Romney even if Fred endorses McCain
warrenmr on January 20, 2008 at 5:50 PM
1. Mitt or maybe Rudy. Rudy may not be a social coservative but he is direct and decisive. I could vote for someone who has enough Malkins to tell a Saudi prince where to put his check and kick Arafat out of a party.
2. I seriously doubt Thompson would endorse McCain. Even if he did, there is nothing anyone could do to talk me into voting for that arrogant, open-borders, anti-First Amendment idiot.
inmypajamas on January 20, 2008 at 5:50 PM
Romney may be able to win the GOP nomination but it would be suicide to run him in the general election!
The vast majority of America is Christian and would not vote for him!
Romney claims to be Christian but he is not. He is a mormon…mormons are not Christians!
HaraldHardrada on January 20, 2008 at 5:51 PM
Criminy. You Huckabee supporters are all class.
Slublog on January 20, 2008 at 5:55 PM
The red truck and gas pump are gone. Since the latest fund drive was to end Jan. 21st, I guess that is a clear sign that Fred’s official departure from the race may be very soon.
In that event I will vote for Romney, who has always been my second choice.
If Fred, endorses McCain - makes no difference. I will not vote for McCain regardless of endorsements or his running mate. If the country is going to heck in a handbasket, let it be at the hands of the Dems. No reason why it should be someone using and abusing the Republican/conservative name.
centralcal on January 20, 2008 at 5:55 PM
Yeah, it’s Kobiashi Maru time….
#1: Romney, even though he described my pastime as a “sea of filth”.
#2: None; though I would hope Fred would have more sense than to endorse McWaffle.

Captain America on January 20, 2008 at 5:59 PM
Mitt, Rudy, Huck and McCain should just accept reality and drop out.
Fred!

I’d vote for McCain - but would prefer Romney or Giuliani.
If Huck runs I’m gonna vote for Obama - but if it’s Huck & Hill I’m staying home and getting hammered.
thareb on January 20, 2008 at 6:01 PM
Fred or no one. Not this time.
fabrexe on January 20, 2008 at 6:01 PM
Ok, Tancredo is out, Hunter is out, Fred soon to depart. So our choices are a) slow and painful death or b) painful slow death. Not very appealing either way.
N4646W on January 20, 2008 at 6:01 PM
#1. Anybody but a Dembot (or Paul or Huckabee).
#2. I’d be sorely disappointed in Fred, but I’ll view it as an effort to defeat the Dembot candidate by way of putting his support behind the perceived GOP front runner. A simple case of unfortunate realpolitik.
flipflop on January 20, 2008 at 6:02 PM
I wouldn’t vote for McCain ever. I still have to spit after saying his name. Should Fred endorse McCain I will be extremely disappointed in Fred but I’ll still vote for Romney.
Romney is a solid Republican and even has a little conservative in him too. That’s more than I can say for McCain or Huckabee which have shown me time and again that they are liberal Democrats with R after their names. I can vote for Romney.
Buzzy on January 20, 2008 at 6:04 PM
My question is why do many think McCaine is even remotely close to being a Conservative? He’s an old school Democrat like Lieberman. He’s threatened to switch partys. Except that Democrats are no longer Socialists. They are pretty much leaning towards Communist principles now. So, McCaine has help move Socialism into the Republican Party instead.
He’s voted and supported liberal views more than conservative ones. Conservatism does not change, it’s principles are solid and based on moral principles. These are not supposed to be compromised but that is the trend. Forsake everything.
Everything America and the constitution is being sold off to the highest bidder even if they buy intends to kill us with our own inventions. We are choosing safety and security over freedom and allowing others to guide our lives too much. The oil companies who produce the gas and the pharmacies who create the medicines, who are the creators and producers are being blamed for destroying the world. America is being carted off by hordes of looters using robbed cash stolen from the producers at the point of a gun.
Yet we all insist that more compromise is the solution. Be safe, pay your taxes and take what this New World Order is going to provide for you. They have it all figured out for you.
Egfrow on January 20, 2008 at 6:04 PM
I don’t care what candidates’ religious beliefs are, or if they have any, so long as they govern by the constitution and follow our existing laws, all of them, including the ones currently being breached.
I don’t like your candidate, Huckabee, because of his insertion of religion into almost all things, not because he is an Evangelical.
Please don’t come back with “would you vote for a Muslim candidate?”. Your drivel in this regard is already regurgitated ad nauseam.
Entelechy on January 20, 2008 at 6:05 PM
I really tire of childish (i.e., Patrick) antics by those who act like vultures on a supposedly dead corps.
Do me a favor, act like respectful adults and wait for Fred to make the next call.
Captain America on January 20, 2008 at 6:05 PM
1) Mitt or Rudy
2) No, I won’t vote for McCain (or Huckabee as prez or VP)
Michael Graham at NRO has the biggest problem with a McCain nomination:
“If you really want to see McCain’s weakness, however, try this thought experiment:
It’s October, 2008. America’s economy is in a recession. People are demanding change and new ideas, someone to give them optimism and hope on domestic issues. On stage, facing off in their final presidential debate to discuss jobs, economic policy and hope for the future are John McCain and Barack Obama.
And be sure to imagine how it will look on television, and to people who don’t really follow politics (they are, after all, the swing voters who will pick the next president).
Now, tell me again how any Republican won tonight…?”
He’s exactly right. McCain will make even Hillary look like a spring chicken. He’s too old. Plus he’s indicated that he is only really good for one term so a vote for McCain is a wasted vote.
Also I don’t think religion is going to be an issue because if it’s Obama, his religious mentor is very anti-white and he praises the anti-semite, anti-white Farrakan, is going to get hit hard too.
I think most will reject this tactic on both Obama and Mitt. I predict that it’s going to be an Obama and Romney race.
sheryl on January 20, 2008 at 6:05 PM
I refuse to even think about this. It makes me sick. Fred was, is and as far as I can tell, will continue to be the best hope for the Republican party/conservatives. Any of the others would be settling and I’m not going to do that unless forced. Until I hear from the man himself, I’m not going here. Call me unreasonable; I don’t care. What I do care about is the best man for the job is Fred Thompson, and I support him and pray he stays in and fights.
pannw on January 20, 2008 at 6:07 PM
Tom Tancredo endorsed Romney. So did Sheriff Joe. So did Jim DeMint, who along with Jeff Sessions was one of the heroes in stopping Juan Plantation McVano’s Middle of the Night Grand Shamnesty Plus.
MB4 on January 20, 2008 at 6:07 PM
romney. maybe rudy in a pinch. i’d vote for obama in a close race over mccain. at least with obama you know what side he’s truly on. mccain would be the fox in the hen house.

You’re not supposed to be drinking on Sunday are you?
Spirit of 1776 on January 20, 2008 at 6:13 PM
For all the Fredheads out there who say they wouldn’t vote for anyone if Fred leaves, I have this to say (And by the way, I’m a former Fredhead myself):
WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?
Why in the world would you risk a McCain nomination over Romney? McCain’s crazy!
Just look at it this way: You could support Romney, who might be a conservative and might be a liberal, or you could support McCain, who is definetly going to be a liberal. Think about it.
doodleduh on January 20, 2008 at 6:13 PM
I’m going with Mitt. With his previous executive experience that tells me he also has some good negoitating skill, too. That should show up in the debates with the donk runner and be an asset in the white house dealing with the congress. He should be able to snooker them.
cjs1943 on January 20, 2008 at 6:14 PM
1. No one.
There will have to be a very important state or local election going on in November to get me to leave the house. Even then, I doubt I’ll vote in the Presidential race. We’re going to get what we deserve either way.

yo on January 20, 2008 at 6:15 PM
1. As far as my vote goes, it has already been cast absentee for Florida for Fred Thompson. Who would I root for? Eh…no one enthusiastically. Will I vote for the Republican in the end over the Dem? It depends. Really, if its Huckabee or McCain I would have a hard time.
2. I’m a Fredhead, but his endorsement will mean nothing if it is for McCain. It won’t convince or influence me that way. Like I said before though, I’ve already voted.

2) No change.
Bryan, please explain what you mean by a “brokered convention.” Is that one in which no candidate has enough delegates to win going in?
flutejpl on January 20, 2008 at 6:16 PM
#1 Romney in the primary, and a write in vote if he is not on the ballot in the general election
#2 Fred! can endorse anyone he wants, but it will have no bearing on who I choose to vote for - McCain and Huckabee are absolutely no gos for me.
SimplyKimberly on January 20, 2008 at 6:16 PM
If Fred drops out, I’ll support Duncan Hunter.
Once the primary is over, I’ll support whoever wins the Republican nomination during the general election with 2 exceptions… (1) Ron Paul (2) Mike Huckabee.
Joshua P. Allem on January 20, 2008 at 6:17 PM
Everyone is talking like Thompson’s endorsement of McCain is a sure thing. Yet for all the talk, I see no proof. Thompson has said nothing to that effect, and McCain has said nothing to that effect. At this point we’re all speculating.
fourstringfuror on January 20, 2008 at 6:17 PM
That could be bloody booring, and make days like these nearly insufferable.
/British accent and kidding
Entelechy on January 20, 2008 at 6:18 PM
The correct answer to both questions is: it doesn’t matter. Allow me to repeat the analysis I posted elsewhere.
In event Fred drops out, the nomination of any of the remaining four will fracture the Republican electorate and guarantee the election of Hillary Clinton. Yes, Hillary Clinton. (You don’t seriously believe the Democrat party leadership would allow a black man to become president, do you? Their adoration of affirmative action has its limits.)
If Huckabee is nominated, the MSM will turn on him immediately as the Christian answer to Ayatollah Khomeini while gleefully pointing out that this guitar-plucking fraud is, in fact, an aw-shucks bull-flopper who knows dick about the role of the U.S. in the world today.
If McCain is nominated there is a good chance that a sizable number of conservative Republicans will not vote on election day, reasoning that, at the conclusion of the scorched-earth presidency of the Lizard Queen, the Reagan Coalition will arise as a phoenix from the ashes and retake the Republic. (Heh…good luck with all of that.)
If Rudy is nominated you can kiss the Evangelical vote goodbye - ditto for most of the South, since he is an Italian from New YAWK - with an annoying lisp, no less.
If Mitt is nominated, most of the Republican electorate will hold their noses (yet again) and vote for him - except for a significant number of Bible-thumpers, on whom you can count to boycott an election that is guaranteed to be as close as the one in 2000. Their bigoted refusal to vote for Romney for no reason other than the fact that he’s (GASP! Horrors!) a Mormon will effectively ensure that Medusa slithers into the Oval Office.
Let it sink in and, when it does, start drinking. Heavily.
NemoParticularis on January 20, 2008 at 6:18 PM
Common theme emerges - drinking
Entelechy on January 20, 2008 at 6:20 PM
If FRED THOMPSON drops out of the race, I will write in his name and vote for him in my states primary, and in November.
This is NOT about FRED THOMPSON and never has been. Its about the soul of th Republican Party.
GUNSMOKE on January 20, 2008 at 6:20 PM
If Fred drops out there won’t be a Conservative in the race so what does it really matter? I’m not a Republican, I’m a Conservative and without Fred, I would be a Conservative without a Party.
God I hope Fred doesn’t drop out. We need him.
ilja on January 20, 2008 at 6:21 PM
The financial system is folding
It may soon become, “It’s the economy, stupid”.
Mitt has better economic/business credential that all the others combined.
MB4 on January 20, 2008 at 6:21 PM
NemoParticularis on January 20, 2008 at 6:18 PM
Exactly. That is why Huckabee is the most electable!
The MSM will villify Huckabee and the ensuing backlash of persecuted Christians and sympathizers will guarantee that Huck defeats the Hildebeast!

Gold, women and drinking, those are the important things in life.
Tuco on January 20, 2008 at 6:24 PM
#1 No one
#2 I’ll sit this one out
infidel4life on January 20, 2008 at 6:24 PM
#1. Nobody. I’m from Oregon so the nomination will be decided before our election is even held. If Fred had won or came a close second in SC then I could hope for a brokered convention and a return to true Republican positions. But that isn’t going to happen now.
#2. I have strong doubts that Fred will endorse McCain. In fact I’ll bet he doesn’t endorse anyone. But even if Fred does endorse John I’m still from Oregon and my vote really doesn’t count.
The sad part is that the two most likely candidates to take the Republican nomination are an arrogant Dino with a temper who has a history of selling-out for positive media attention and a guy from Massachusets with perfect hair that will support whatever happens to be popular at the moment. Which means another 40 years of bad supreme court rulings, higher taxes, more regulation, unchecked immigration, excessive social spending, and a gutted military. A dark future awaits us.
Now that the Republicans have officially abandoned Federalism in favor of Populism and open borders I’m strongly considering changing my registration, though to what party I don’t yet know.
Browncoatone on January 20, 2008 at 6:25 PM
1) Romney
2) I’d be incredibly disappointed in Fred. However, I will vote for whoever the Republican candidate is. To sit out or vote third party hands the nomination to the Dems. While I would do just about anything to get rid of Hillary as my senator, I’ll take one for the team and keep her here in NY to spare the rest of the country from her socialist ways.
IrishGirl17 on January 20, 2008 at 6:25 PM

bnelson44 on January 20, 2008 at 6:25 PM
PLEASE END ALL DISCUSSION: We all want a Republican to win, correct? Or do we? After hearing Tom Delay and Anne Coulter in the last few hours, I’m not so sure. See, they both rolled there eyes and gasped for air upon the question. In fact, Delay stated, “John McCain has done more to destroy the Republican party than anyone”. Thanks, Tom. Please go be irrelevant again, and Anne please go run your fingers through your hair somewhere in Utah where you belong with the rest of the loons who voted. I Want to Win! MCCain is the only guy to do it. I’m convinced that the Coulters and Delays of the world know they’ll be marginalized, maybe forerever. GIVE EM HELL JOHHNY, AND NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEIGN A MODERATE REPUBLICAN. yEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

HH, Huckabee has no chance whatsoever in the general.
The gramophone is screeching an old song.

1) No one. The choice would then, in my view, be between people comfortable with varying degrees of socialism. Pass. Like asking ‘as you run headlong with the rest of the lemmings, do you hope to hit the rocks, or die from hitting the water’.
2) If Fred endorsed McCain (short of post convention nomination as the Republican candidate), I’d be extremely surprised, and would for the first time be aware of a ‘negative’ point for Fred…

Here it proof for that

1. Romney first choice, Rudy second.
2. If Fred supports McCain I will still support Romney.
The only time I would vote for McCain is if he ends up being the Republican nominee. Unfortunately, the way it’s looking now that might be the case! Please God NO!

He doesn’t have much of a chance in FL either so I don’t know how much longer he will be with us. Maybe through Super Tuesday.

Like you, I’d love to see a brokered convention with Fred emerging as a consensus candidate. If that doesn’t happen I’ll support Romney and hope he has sense enough to choose Fred as his running mate.

You couldn’t handle it.

i’m no romney or rudy fan, either, but at least they never stabbed me in the back like mccain and graham have.
