Fred Out of Thursday's Debate; Doesn't Plan on Endorsing

I spoke to one of my Thompson sources.

He's still with his ailing mother. "He's just being a good son."

He has not spoken to any other campaign or any other candidates, nor does he intend to at this time.

He will not endorse, I am told by this source close to Thompson.

I am also told, "he has no interest in a vice presidency or a cabinet position." At an "appropriate time" he will outline his plans for the near future.

This source believes that the race has demonstrated that whatever happens from here on out, the GOP has to stand for consistent conservative policies across the board.

At one point, I asked this source if the attitude was, 'if you can't be Reagan, be Goldwater,' and the source responded, "exactly."

If I were a betting man, I would bet on him departing the race in the not-too-distant future

too bad.  he was my guy.  but he got in late, and his heart didn't really seem into it at (most) times.  I wish his mother a speedy recovery.  and he takes votes away from huckleberry, so the longer he officially stays in, the better it is for mccain and mitt.  I have to pause for a moment to consider whether I think that is a good thing or not.

^ditto man. I'm saddened that he's not going to make it. He is the perfect choice in my opinion. I would hope he would consider a VP position. He'd really add a lot to McCain.
