Thompson Dropping Out Before New Hampshire?

[jon31rm]

Sorry if this has been mentioned:

CBS Evening News reported tonight that Thompson would immediately drop out if he finished lower than the top three in Iowa, and would back McCain.

1. Has this been mentioned anywhere else? Is this report credible?

2. If Thompson does drop out, would Fox News have Ron Paul take his place on the Forum bus? Would Ron Paul even accept an invitation at that point?

Discuss.

I don't know if backing McCain can stop a Paul train.

Thompson is pathetic, he never should have run for President. He never really wanted to do what is required to win anyway.

Those old fellas need each other to hold each other up!

 

[fuzzybekool]

Thompson should quit. It seems his wife wants to be President more than he does. No passion left. It ain't his fault. Ron Paul is just too big out there and Thompson knows it.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Fred seemed to expect the nomination to fall into his lap.
Unfortunately for him it didn't. He would like the prize but is not willing to work for it.

I'm not sure if Thompson dropping out would help us or not. He's not really competitive in New Hampshire anyway.

And we don't want McCain to pickup much more momentum.

RP is older than both of them.

Something tells me McCain isn't going to

Fred is going to get squat so he needs to prop up the weakest link in fundraising, McCain. Keep Mr Amnesty going a few more months. FRED is done.

But Ron takes Revolution vitamins!

It will give Ron a seat on the Faux News Bus. Ron will be in double digits tomorrow. What will they say then?

 

[UtahApocalypse]

So that will be the play heh... Thompson drops out making room on the bus. Fox still can claim that was why the original exclusion, and have RP on.

 

[evadmurd]

Thompson has always been a front for the McCain campaign. That was the only reason for his campaign. Maybe a McCain VP?

 

[jake]

unfortunate campaign.

Hopefully some Thompson supporters would join this campaign (What were Thompson's positions anyways?!)

 

[ItsTime]

I hope so! If Fred drops out my grandfather will vote for Ron Paul (my grandfather lives in Maine)

 

[Mortikhi]

he said if he didnt get 2nd or better in iowa, he was quitting.

no, i dont have a source. i heard it on npr.

 

[kushaze]

Lets make good with the Fred supporters and hope that they join up with us.

Didn't you guys know FOX's bus shrinks on command from David Rockefeller?


It's tha splendidly amazing shrinkable bus.

Now if Thompson drops out on Thursday or Friday, will Fox still claim there's no room in the trailer this weekend?
