Then he flirted with getting into the race. Now, politicos wonder when he'll drop out if he can't win a state. Tonight, he looks like a McCain surrogate,</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)</generator><item><title>Fred as McCain surrogate?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/06/554681.aspx#555583</link><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:51:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:555583</guid><dc:creator>WILIAM QUINION Schenectady,N.Y.</dc:creator><description>BILL Schenectady,N.Y. &amp;nbsp; Do you have any reporters that aren't hearing impaired? During the debate,Romney,Huckabee,Juliani,and Mc Cain each stated,at least once that they agreed with statements made by Fred Yhompson. In my opinion that shows that Fred Thompson was prepared and they were not;making Fred the winner of the debate.If the voters of New Hampshire are foolish enough to want any of these other candidates for President who do they expect them to call to supply a reasonable response to an emergency situation, FRED THOMPSON ? How long would it take to locate him ? Wouldn't it be better to have him in the oval office to handle the situation IMMEDIATELY ? &lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Fred as McCain surrogate?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/06/554681.aspx#555757</link><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jan 2008 15:53:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:555757</guid><dc:creator>Iris Lynch, Palominas, Az</dc:creator><description>Bill,&lt;br&gt;You are so right. &amp;nbsp;But haven't you noticed what the 'media' in general have done with Fred? &amp;nbsp;They speak for him telling lies about his dropping out, his laziness, OR they don't talk about him at all. &amp;nbsp;Everything of note that he says or does is ignored. &amp;nbsp;Could it be they want one of their own liberal types to run for a Republican seat..Mc Cain, Huckabee or Guiliani? &amp;nbsp;Have you heard he came in second in Wyoming? Hasn't it been implied that he came in fourth AFTER Mc Cain in Iowa when in fact he came in third? &amp;nbsp;Every media report, if not ignoring Fred completely, has something negative to say.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yep, it is only the voters who like Fred. &amp;nbsp;The THINKING voters.</description></item></channel></rss>
