Farewell Thompson?

Unfortunately Thompson's strategy failed miserably after coming in third in South Carolina. Thompson expected to at least come in second here, for he had put a lot of money and effort into it. McCain, however, won over all. Sadly, Thompson is contemplating dropping out of this wild and unpredictable race for the candidacy. After his grave loss in South Carolina it appeared as if Thompson was on the verge of throwing in the towel. Thompson spoke about the campaign in the past tense an indicator that Thompson is seriously considering withdrawing from the fierce battle. In Nevada Thompson came in, not surprisingly, fourth. Who, however, will benefit from Thompson dropping out? Many speculate that it will be Romney who will in the end reap what Thompson has sown. This is due to the similarity of their points of view. For now, us Thompson fans can only hope that he will hold strong and keep "truckin".

As much as we all hope that Thomspon well keep "truckin," his recent behavior seems to be exhibiting otherwise. At the concession speeches at South Carolina primary, Thompson spoke for about five minutes before leaving the stage. Many people asked "Is that it?" after he left the stage and Thompson's campaign has given nebulous details about his Florida campaign stops.
