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.

There’s that annoying buzzing again…. ugh.
tickleddragon on January 21, 2008 at 12:06 AM
Who was the first President you voted for?
Limerick on January 21, 2008 at 12:07 AM
Can’t say I buy that, given the existence over the years of the Red Army Brigade (Germany), the Basque Separatists (Spain), and the Symbionese Liberation Army (Good old USA).
But I guess we’ll have to hold it down. Don’t want to disturb the Fredparty going on.

It was a joke.
malan89 on January 21, 2008 at 12:07 AM
Not really. No.

Understood. Sorry.

It does not. FredFolk are HAWT!

You know the classic definition of a fanatic? Someone who won’t change his mind, and can’t change the subject….
Give it up.

Well….I guess that puts things in perspective.

@ theregoestheneighborhood on January 21, 2008 at 12:07 AM
Thank you for those examples, they prove my point. The general populations of all of those countries do NOT support those groups. Those groups are fringe and gain no traction because the countries in which they exist are wealthy and educated.

ROFL. :)

HaraldHardrada….
I figured it out.
He’s a PaulNut attempting to mock the “neocons”.

So now you’re hearing that buzzing too?

At 12:13 AM on Monday, January 21, 2008, I am declaring this thread dead. Good night. I’m watching Roots…they’re replaying it on TV.

@ HaraldHardrada on January 21, 2008 at 12:08 AM
Could you vote for someone if they didn’t believe that they were a gift from god for the country? Since you voted for Bush, who said he was sent by god to be president, and Huckabee who believes he and Chuck Norris are Jesus’s personal Ninja bodygaurds back to power, can you vote for someone who doesnt throw around jesua and god and the like in every speech?
muyoso on January 21, 2008 at 12:14 AM
Oh no! Now your hurting my feelings.
HaraldHardrada on January 21, 2008 at 12:15 AM
Let us know how that works out for you. :) JK.
Have a nice morning.

Wow. I just can’t keep up with the LGF-length comment threads around here anymore! Glad you guys are having fun.

Sorry..the negativity got to be too much so we turned it into a party. Gotta be a quick draw with the refresh button.

Fred to McCain to Billary to Muslims to Scripture to what the hell open the bottle already. Typical Sunday electron junkie withdrawal syndrome.

Do we need to have a fredfolk class on not engaging the trolls? ;)
tickleddragon on January 21, 2008 at 12:22 AM
Or maybe just chatter….
Mcguyver on January 21, 2008 at 12:22 AM
Let’s just say they prove my point because none of them are Christian.

TRIPLE Jack and Coke for my friend, BarKeep!
RushBaby on January 21, 2008 at 12:23 AM
Thanks for the invite, RB, but really I just peeked in for a moment before heading off to bed. Just wanted to see if anything interesting was going on and was stunned to see the 700+ comments on this one. The disco lights made me realize there was a party going on. ;-) Too tired for dancing, unfortunately. Y’all enjoy!

Excellent.

@ theregoestheneighborhood on January 21, 2008 at 12:22 AM
They dont have to be christian, the reason they don’t gain traction is because they are in rich countries with educated people.
muyoso on January 21, 2008 at 12:25 AM
Whatever! Huck just crushed fred yesterday! Fred couldn’t even get HALF as many votes as Huck right in his own backyard!
Huck took on the tag team amnesty crew (Juan and Fred) and almost beat them both by himself!

My mail cubby is due to be opened in about 2014, or so. Unless something else distracts me between now and then.

That’s not unusual at these parties. :)

Erk??
tickleddragon on January 21, 2008 at 12:44 AM
You can say that, but you have no proof for it. I can just as easily argue they get no traction because the population is Christian.
theregoestheneighborhood on January 21, 2008 at 12:44 AM
In that case, party’s at my place tomorrow night.
