Fred Thompson Is Out Of The Race
I said as much after Saturday’s South Carolina primary results, but it’s about to become official tomorrow what with Fox News’ Carl Cameron reporting that Fred won’t be at Florida’s debate tomorrow.
It’s over, Fredheads. It was good while it lasted.
About the best thing conservatives can hope for at this point, I think, is Romney/Thompson. McCain may have the media in a trance right now, but Romney’s got the lead in delegates (early as it is), and with conservative big wigs like Rush Limbaugh and others having it out for McCain you’ve got to think things will swing his way.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think I’m ever really going to warm to Romney and the conservative principles he found right before the primaries, but he’d be better than McCain. And having Thompson on board with him wouldn’t hurt.
