Romney can win against Huckabee, but I doubt he can beat McCain for the nomination. That makes me wwonder why Romney pulled out of SC so soon. I think he could have taken some votes from McCain; maybe that would have helped Huckabee.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thompson is clearly the spoiler now (probably on purpose). That makes him look pretty bad. And to think his supporters mostly hate McCain.

From the last debate Fred attacked Huckabee tremendously and only Huckabee. His whole campaign in SC was anti-Huckabee. Plus don't forget him and John McCain are very good friends. Up to this point Huckabee was considered one of the leading front runners. A win tonight would have kept him strong in the race. McCain also needed SC so Fred helped him get it.I believe Fred will drop out this week and endorse McCain. However I believe there will be repercussions on the part against Fred.</description></item><item><title>Huck camp: Blame Fred</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/19/592725.aspx#592977</link><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 05:38:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:592977</guid><dc:creator>Dustin, Nashville, TN</dc:creator><description>Not true at all. &amp;nbsp;Most of us Thompson supporters REALLY hate Huckabee, because he's a total fake and a total liberal.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He screams about being a conservative, when he's nothing of the sort, from union endorsements to NEA endorsements to raising taxes in Arkansas to talking about a &amp;quot;living&amp;quot; constitution to not having a damn clue about foreign policy, which Fred has schooled him in time and time again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm not a big fan of McCain either, but he sure beats the heck out of Huckabee. &amp;nbsp;If Huckabee was the nominee I would not vote Republican for the first time in my life. &amp;nbsp;I'm glad that apparently I don't have to make that choice now. &amp;nbsp;The Huckacrook is done.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Oh, and that's another thing; Huckabee's speech was unbelievable. &amp;nbsp;He talked about &amp;quot;class&amp;quot; when HIS campaign was the dirtiest campaign of all. &amp;nbsp;Fred laid out his record and he couldn't respond so he made personal jokes and attacks on Fred, and HIS campaign (or surrogates of it) made the push polls in South Carolina. &amp;nbsp;And now the whining continues. &amp;nbsp;What a hypocrite.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mike Huckabee is an evil, evil man in my mind. &amp;nbsp;I'm so glad that his time is done.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;TaxHikeMike.org</description></item><item><title>Huck camp: Blame Fred</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/19/592725.aspx#593033</link><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 06:06:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:593033</guid><dc:creator>Thomas, Jacksonville, FL</dc:creator><description>Quit your crying Huckabee! &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Huckabee is just a boderline liberal who hides behind and wears his religion on his sleeve, kisses a lot of babies and tells corny jokes.

I hate to think that Thompson’s race is just a calculation to help McCain, but we will soon see, when Thompson drops out, whom will Fred endorse. &amp;nbsp;I have heard this from too many sources very close to his campaign to not give it credibility. &amp;nbsp;But only time will tell.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;A week ago, polls around the nation had Huckabee trailing McCain in SC by as much as 13 percentage points. &amp;nbsp;In the past week, Huckabee started to surge and closed the gap to only 3%. &amp;nbsp;Time ran out. &amp;nbsp;Had Thompson not been in the race, Huckabee would have won South Carolina. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As you know South Carolina lost half of its delegates as a consequence for moving the primary to an earlier date. &amp;nbsp;South Carolina only has 24 delegates. McCain received 19 of these and Huckabee received 5. &amp;nbsp;It is not clear how the 24 delegates were apportioned, but traditionally in SC a candidate gets a few delegates for each Congressional District win and a larger amount for the state winner. &amp;nbsp;Huckabee won the 3rd, 4th and 5th Congressional District and 5 delegates were awarded to him. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here in SC we now must keep our focus on defeating Lindsey Graham. &amp;nbsp;Word has it that other candidates will be entering the race. &amp;nbsp;Don’t be discouraged by this, as in this primary the winner must get 50% + 1 vote to win the nomination. &amp;nbsp;We don’t think Lindsey has enough votes to win the primary outright and more than likely will have a runoff. &amp;nbsp;Remember that thanks to his campaign consultant, Graham had no opposition in the republican primary that led to his nomination. &amp;nbsp;So if all the GOP senatorial candidates work together to defeat Lindsey and not attack one another (like Thompson did to Huckabee), South Carolinians can retire Lindsey and send him back to Central, SC in the runoff. &amp;nbsp;After all, after being booed at the SC GOP state convention, Lindsey stated that he would be just as happy practicing law in Central, SC. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Huck camp: Blame Fred</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/19/592725.aspx#593123</link><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 07:57:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:593123</guid><dc:creator>leon            houston</dc:creator><description>if huckabee stays in until texas(6 weeks) he wins the state overwhelmingly!</description></item><item><title>Huck camp: Blame Fred</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/19/592725.aspx#593135</link><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 08:21:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:593135</guid><dc:creator>Karl Kalamazoo Mi</dc:creator><description>The simple truth is Thompson is the only viable or competent candidate in either Party.

I lived there while he governor and he was awful. Not only did he spend the entire LAST year of his time in office campaigning for president instead of taking care of the state, he regularly tried to usurp the power of the Mayor, wrecked the healthcare system and &amp;quot;balanced&amp;quot; the budget before leaving by basically yanking money from every small fund he could to make it look even. It was a complete wreck when Deval took over. Take a look at some of the links here, some of them are very old to residents of new england but for those of you who aren't take a look. &lt;br&gt;Living in Massachusetts I have to share with you some stuff on Mitt, also commonly referred to as 'the twit' here in Mass. Now, he's a good speaker, he's well prepared, and lately he's pro-life (although also pro-death penalty?) which sits well with conservatives, but he is not a good candidate to run our country. Talk to some people who live within the state before promising out your vote. He's a flip flopper and seems to be becoming more and more conservative because of the election. If your conservative fine, but be conservative don't change your views for the sake of the polls, do you want that person running our country?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2006/12/24/romney_left_mass_on_212_days_in_06/"&gt;http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2006/12/24/romney_left_mass_on_212_days_in_06/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;He basically started running for president in early 2006, campaigning and rallying support meanwhile ignoring the state he was in and only jumping in when it would make national news.&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Laying the foundation of a presidential candidacy, Governor Mitt Romney has spent all or part of 212 days outside Massachusetts so far in 2006, an average of more than four days on the road each week, a Globe review of his public schedules shows.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_w9pquznG4"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_w9pquznG4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mitt-- Pro Choice in 2002&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_iWZJ1qk4k"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_iWZJ1qk4k&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mitt-- Pro Life&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX-9rXkbEbA"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX-9rXkbEbA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mitt-- Persons of faith should lead the country, atheists, dont run for president!&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Huck camp: Blame Fred</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/19/592725.aspx#594128</link><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 20:24:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:594128</guid><dc:creator>Deezer - Grand Rapids, MI</dc:creator><description>It's a falsity that Huckabee can't win against the Democrats. &amp;nbsp; He battled and won over the Clinton political machine in Arkansas and was a 2-term Republican governor in a highly liberal state.

Example look at the speeches of Huckabee and McCain in Iowa and NH and then look how they quickly converted themselves into Conservative wannabees from their speeches in SC.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These are just typical lair politicians that change with the wind. I feel that we are looking at the true demise of the USA and the winds of change are now blowing in our face and not our backs. Immigration, tax policy, social security, pro-growth business attitudes...these are all lacking from the current Republican candidates. I would say the closest is Thompson to true Reagan conservatism unfortunately, the Republicans seem not to like what he has to say.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I do believe that the chances for a Democrat in the White House in 2009 is becoming more of a reality and with that goes the last great chance that the Republican Party will have to prove to the nation that &amp;quot;true&amp;quot; Conservative values can make our nation a better place. Because the Democ&amp;quot;rats&amp;quot; will control the WH, Congress, and then appoint liberal judges and then defacto control the Supreme Court. With that accomplished look out because here comes far left loony Communist style socialism. Political correctness run a muck and social policies that will destroy free enterprise and run the USA into a deep recession....LOOK OUT because the writing is on the wall.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As Pat Buchannan is fond of saying the death of the west is at our doorstep, the barbarians have broken down the door and are dictating the terms of our surrender. Heaven help the USA and I pray that we can save ourselves from our self because we have no one to blame but us.... No nation in the world can defeat the USA; the USA will be defeated by itself.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Huck camp: Blame Fred</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/19/592725.aspx#594726</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 03:46:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:594726</guid><dc:creator>jj</dc:creator><description>I don't know why former Catholics-who are 'born again'-continue to study the Bible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;DO YOU???</description></item><item><title>Huck camp: Blame Fred</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/19/592725.aspx#594752</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 04:17:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:594752</guid><dc:creator>jj</dc:creator><description>I DON'T KNOW WHY-Mormons-don't apply good works-as CATHOLICS.</description></item><item><title>Huck camp: Blame Fred</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/19/592725.aspx#594757</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 04:18:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:594757</guid><dc:creator>jj</dc:creator><description>BECAUSE some folks feel it necessary to eather REDUCE Jesus to 'buddy' status; or, be content with Jewish BIRTHRIGHT TO SIN.</description></item><item><title>Huck camp: Blame Fred</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/19/592725.aspx#594762</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 04:22:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:594762</guid><dc:creator>jj</dc:creator><description>TITHING not mentioned in NEW TESTAMENT.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-forget that-</description></item><item><title>Huck camp: Blame Fred</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/19/592725.aspx#594795</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 05:09:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:594795</guid><dc:creator>xhoosier78</dc:creator><description>Gee, Mr Beasly gosh we're awful sorry if we spoiled&lt;br&gt;your little party. &amp;nbsp;We know how much Huck likes to play his little guitar. &amp;nbsp;Maybe you should put on your big-boy pants and conduct a campaign with some honesty and respect for the voters and your own supporters. What are you in third grade? &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;I recieved one of your push-poll calls&lt;br&gt;trashing Thompson and McCain in Michigan last week.&lt;br&gt;You did the same again in SC this week. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;After Thompson gutted the Huckster in the last debate, your candidate's response was; &amp;quot;maybe old Fred needs some Metamucil&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Wow that was inciteful,&lt;br&gt;huh? &amp;nbsp;Then he proceeded to announce a change of heart about a Federal ban on smoking because Thompson nailed him to the wall on it. &amp;nbsp; Your canidate is &lt;br&gt;clueless in regard to the Constitution, foreign policy, and Conservatism and deserves to be beaten&lt;br&gt;out of every state primary. &amp;nbsp;He is not a conservative and is not conducting a campaign in the &amp;quot;Christian&amp;quot; manner he projects from the pulpit. He is a performer and nothing more. Obvious since his Leno appearance, sitting in with the band, positively Clintonesque.&lt;br&gt; His ads using&lt;br&gt;Christian buzz words and symbols offends me greatly.&lt;br&gt;I am a conservative, evangelical Christian man who&lt;br&gt;will not watch his Brothers and sisters be duped by &amp;nbsp;another slick talker from Arkansas. &amp;nbsp;It is a very good thing he won't win the nomination because,&lt;br&gt;when the MSM opens the files they are holding back on the Huckster you will all be ashamed. &lt;br&gt;Wake up America, FRED THOMPSON is the Adult in this race. &amp;nbsp;www.fred08.com &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Check out his stand on all the issues. &amp;nbsp;And no, sorry he won't be endorsing&lt;br&gt;McCain he has something you know nothing about, its called , INTEGRITY.</description></item><item><title>Huck camp: Blame Fred</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/19/592725.aspx#594970</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 13:43:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:594970</guid><dc:creator>xhoosier78</dc:creator><description>A.
