    Dunno, but if I were to vote, I'd vote for someone who'd bring all the troops back to the US within the next year or two rather than have them colonize Iraq and Afghanistan and/or wait for "victory" whatever that will be.

    Btw, I really like McCain's speeches. Much more inspiring than Obama.

    Does anyone know when the next debate is?
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    TuffStuff, you missed the Dem primary in SC on Jan 26. Since you're including Dems in the poll, you may want to edit the title of the thread ... just a thought ...

    Rudy's campaign will go down as one of the dumbest campaigns in history.

    Is Thompson going to drop out before or after Florida?

    If he drops out before Florida, would he help Romney or McCain?

    Is he trying to position himself to become the VP by brokering a deal with McCain?

    What are the chances that he stays in to see how the chips fall on super Tuesday?


    My questions are directed to his supporters in this forum.

    My guess is he'll drop out before. I've heard he already withdrew from the upcoming debate. I don't really know who his dropping out would help. I don't really support any candidate is a good alternative.

    Done

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Former senator Fred Thompson (Tenn.) bowed to the obvious moments ago, dropping out of the 2008 presidential race in a tersely-worded statement.

    "Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States," read the statement. "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."

    Those close to Thompson say that his mind has been elsewhere since his disappointing third place finish in South Carolina's Republican presidential primary because he has been in Tennessee caring for his mother who is seriously ill. Those same sources suggested that Thompson is not likely to immediately endorse any of the remaining candidates in the field.

    crap. I was hoping that he'd do it after. I think it will help the guy who has fallen behind in Florida. Ie: McCain. Any double digit movement in the tight race will be unsettling for Romney as the recent poll leader.

    At this point, I don't feel as though Giuliani is viable enough to mention.

    It's too bad that Huckabee took so long to dry up and blow away. He's now cutting staff and abandoning Florida since he's non-competitive there. I think he drained a lot of Thompson supporters from the Christian conservative side of things.

    Anyone see the Democrat debate in SC? What a slobberknocker.
    It's hilarious to me to see what passes for insults in Democrat circles- 'You worked for WalMart!' 'Oh yeah? Well, you thought Reagan had some good ideas!'

    Seriously, what is their world like?
