Forums - General - And then There Were 5: Fred Thompson Drops out of the Race

I tried to find the wikipedia page dedicated to all of Hilary's scandals, but it has been removed at some point over the last 8 months. That evil b*tch must have paid someone to edit it away.

Well McCain, I don't like, cause he sounds like a guy that's going to go around waging wars everywhere. Nor do I like Guiliani. Um I'm indifferent with Huckabee, but I do like Romney and Paul. Romney probably has a better chance than Paul, so he'd be ok in my book I guess. But I'd rather Paul.



@ssj12

I meant if he won the republican side , he could beat any democrat

Hilary is winning the democratic part of the election.

 Doesn't mean she can win an general election. How about Kerry? There is no way he could have been a worse president than Bush, but he lost because he isn't likable. Obama is the Democrats only chance this election. People like him and he is an upstanding politician, something that is rare these days.

By the way I am a liberal, but not a democrat.

On a related note, The subsequent drop out of Fred Thompson has led to a 400% percent rise in support based on speculation over whether or not he'll re-enter the race.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Yeah Obama is the best choice for the Dems, but instead they go to Hillary, its so depressing, because Obama is a much better choice, I mean he's been very honest about his record and he seems very much a true bipartisan cantidate, one who has been able to work well across the isle with republicans. On other other hand we have Hillary who has constantly been on the attack with the help of Bill and has distorted the facts again and again.



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I think at this point Huckabee becomes the VP for whoever wins on the Republican side (unless its Paul in some massive upset). 

By having millions left to spend, I actually think Paul can outlast everyone except Romney if the race remains open.  But I think Huckabee will drop out, and I'm all but sure Guiliani will drop out if he comes in a distant second or third in Florida, since the bad-press making him look like a complete tool for waiting so long to campaign heavily will be enormous.  He's obviously still in it with a win in Florida, although without money and unlikely to win even NY, CT and NJ.

Paul can survive by targeting places like Nevada and Lousiana (tonight) where no one is really competing, and costing other candidates delegates.  If he mounts double digits in most states, he can probably run as a third party candidate, and pretty much assure a split among Republicans between the Goldwater guys vs. Neocons guys.  If Bloomberg ran he'd hurt both moderate support for both parties as well.

I don't believe Paul can win the general election, but if he keeps fighting through November he is laying the seeds for a real Libertarian Revolution as his movement will have touched millions, and among them will be a refined, younger, attractive candidate.  Its almost as if Paul wins in a sense just by knocking out alot of the former frontrunners.

Thompson was the laziest candidate in primary history. He thought that he would win because he's Fred Thompson.
Also, I don't understand why people like Ron Paul. Yes he's against the war, but so is the majority of the American public. He supports the border fence, a waste of money if there ever was one. He wouldn't get rid of the tax cuts for the rich. He doesn't support alternative energy. Most of all though, he wants to privatize social security. He is exactly the same as the Republican party, except he wants to leave Iraq, doesn't have a problem with gay marraige, and is against the death penalty. He even supports the ridiculous idea of Creationism, all but proven by science. If he wasn't against Iraq, he would be considered an extreme Republican. It's too bad none of the Republicans are good candidates. The only one with a snowball's chance in hell of winning the presidency is McCain.

Good think the Republicans don't matter. A Democrat will finally be in charge next year.
