YES! :D:D:D:D:D

[BeFranklin]

Need a reach out to Thompson supporters. Also I hope this means we can get back into the gun shows now.

[libertythor]

This COULD help us because Fred is the "Reagan Guy". That will leave them few other options, and for the sector that supports him because of his celebrity status, the may not vote anyways!

[agaiziunas]

Just saw the same on MSNBC..

[iiguns]

Yeehawwww

[Truth Warrior]

Just now confirmed on MSNBC! :cool:

[ConstitutionGal]

If this proves correct and the McCain's record on POWs makes the mainstream, the only ones we're going to have to deal with are Romney and Huckabee. Thankfully, the more people hear Huckabee, the more people dislike him which leave only Romney. Thankfully, Dr. Paul is light-years ahead of Romney on monetary policy that he will, hopefully, be able to gain more traction considering the current economic news.

Per Carl Cameron:

“FOXNEWS has learned that Fred Thompson is returning to his home in McClean VA and plans to withdraw from the race. He has begun calling friends, family and supporters and telling them his campaign is over.”


Statement from Sen. Fred Thompson

McLean, VA -

Senator Fred Thompson today issued the following statement about his campaign for President:”Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort. Jeri and I will always be grateful for the encouragement and friendship of so many wonderful people.”

[Janet0116]

Hmm, this will be interesting. Wonder who he will endorse? I hope no one.

[fuzzybekool]

[iiguns]

[NerveShocker]

[2young2vote]

CNN just said he is out or is very close to stopping.

[pcosmar]

CNN just said "confirmed".
Fred is out.

[Truth Warrior]

Links? Not yet. Just on the tube, so far.

[rollingpig]

i wonder who he will endorse..

[Mark]

The Carl Cameron.. umm.. dude.. said that Thompson was flying back to Virginia now after visiting his ill mother in Tennessee following the SC primary.

Thompson has apparently told those inside his campaign staff that he will withdraw.

CNBC's Erin Burnett.. yumm.. just reported that he HAS withdrawn.

[Give me liberty]

Is this true?
Will he withdraw.

[Shink]

i wonder who he will endorse..

He'll probably endorse Jeb Bush. Don't even bother praying for a Ron endorsement from him.

[Mark]

Huck will be next with Rudy, Huck is broke and Rudy as well!!! People we need another money bomb!!!!! Now is the time!!!!

Huck has already pulled back from Florida due to funds.

If this proves correct and the McCain's record on POWs makes the mainstream, the only ones we're going to have to deal with are Romney and Huckabee. Thankfully, the more people hear Huckabee, the more people dislike him which leave only Romney. Thankfully, Dr. Paul is light-years ahead of Romney on monetary policy that he will, hopefully, be able to gain more traction considering the current economic news.

McCain is about to implode from the revelations - Even the Keating Five involvement has been forgotten by the voters.

That's enough to bring him down by itself.
