FRED THOMPSON ON FIRE IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Fred's , "Clear Conservative Choice, Hands Down, " bus tour is burning up the roads in South Carolina. The reception from all accounts is positive with excellent crowds who are applauding his clear and conservative message.
The latest South Carolina polls reflecting polling in State as of January 14th have Fred at 14% just behind Mitt Romney and only 5 points behind Mike Huckabee who is at 19% . John McCain leads the field with 24%.
Zogby has a little different take with Thompson in third 2 points ahead of Romney with McCain in the lead two point ahead of Huckabee who is 7 ahead of Thompson. The good news for Fred is that more than two thirds of those polled who support Fred state that they will not change their mind before this Saturday's Primary in South Carolina.
More than half of Republicans polled who are supporting other candidates at the time of the poll stated that they could change their mind before the Primary. 33% of Huckabee supporters at the time of the poll and 30% of McCain supporters at the time of the poll stated that they could change their mind before voting on the 19th.
This is certainly good news for Fred when one considers that most of his support is solid. Additionally 69% of likely voters in South Carolina stated in the Zogby poll that they would most likely vote for a conservative candidate as compared to 1 in 4 who stated they would rather vote for a moderate. This to is good news for Thompson who leads all candidates with those who stated that they consider themselves conservative.
From a fund raising stand point Fred is doing well having raised 1.o52 million dollars as of midnight January 14th surpassing the goal of one million dollars for the South Carolina bus tour. This is legitimate money unlike the massive pledges and inflated figures from the Ron Paul campaign that made head lines a few weeks ago.
With four days remaining until the South Carolina Primary, Fred not only has time but the ability with his all out effort in the Palmetto State to surge forward with his clear conservative message to stake his claim in South Carolina when the vote is counted and the delegates are assigned at the end of the day this Saturday.

Yeah, where the hell has this been? This is the Fred we should have been seeing for the past 6 months. Come on Fred. Knock those wanna be conservatives on their respective butts.
I agree, but better late than never and especially when its working!
Not to be a wet blanket, but it occurs to me that the Romney win in Michigan may sap some of the Fredmentum in SC.
Fred has been coming on strong though.
And the polls have been mostly WRONG so far. So it's anybodies guess what will happen.
Newt Gingrich was on Fox News tonight saying that Huckabee would win SC... I'm not so sure about that.
With the failing of the polls and the internal from the polls being so much different than the actual poll itself , I would not be surprised to see a polling failure here in SC just like NH.
Also Mike, Newt though veru savvy has been wrong quite a bit when predicting a win for a candidate.
Good luck to your candidate. But man, the guy has been lazy and still looks like he could use a nap.
He is an ultimate Washington insider with significant ties to lobbyists. In a year when change is playing well, I just don't see him building any momentum. McCain/Romney get the fiscal conservatives, and Huckabee is drawing the evangelicals.
Should be interesting, but I suspect that Sunday or Monday morning Fred will bow out.
Rob, I saw an interview with his wife yesterady and she was asked about SC and the pssibility of not winning. Her response was giving a list of Super Tursday States that Fred is doing well in including Tennessee and Alabama among several others.
It looks like Fred will be around longer than you think. And like the post shows he is coming on strong here in SC. The internals of the polls show a different picture!
Ok now this made me feel better Ken :-)
Yeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwwwww lol
Somehow, I don't think too many conservatives will be taking advice on who to nominate from Rob!
Why don't we just ask Louis Farrahkan?
Mike - what makes you think I am making any recommendations about who to nominate. I couldn't care less who the Republicans nominate.
I am just making an observation.
I have no idea what Louis Farrahkan has to do with anything. I'll just chalk it up to your typical angry blather.
Geez dude, you need to take a chill pill and relax. Have a drink, get a massage, smoke a cigar, or do whatever it is you do to unwind.
