Fred takes Third in Iowa...

Despite what the Politico said about Fred dropping out and endorsing McCain, tonight's results couldn't be further from the truth!

Fred Thompson took third place in Iowa today. Remember, this is the same Fred Thompson who is the latest latecomer in the primary race. This is the same Fred Thompson who took campaigning to a new level of frankness, as noted in his 17-minute down-to-earth no-nonsense video.

And yes, this is the same Fred Thompson who has barely been mentioned by Fox and by the establishment media.

Not bad for a Johnny-come lately into the field.

Concede to McCain? I don't think so.

Consider Iowa a "tortoise and the hare" moment. Look for the Thompson juggernaut to gain momentum from this point on.

FULL SPEED AHEAD, FRED!!
