This does seem a bit harsh.

I think Fred Thompson's bowing out helps Ron Paul with the pro-life vote.

[OFUMedia]

Agreed, but thompson bowing out before SC would have helped him also.

Fred,Please don't support McCain. The Dems know that McCain CAN'T win. Why else would they support him?

[penguinthefisheater]

I actually thought this was the most sense I've heard CNN talk on the 2008 Election! That's probably not saying much though.

[maggie1715]

Spin the campaign of Fred Thopmson anyway they can.Huck got ripped by Fred on the issues no way a Fredhead will back him.Keep spinning and spewing cnn you suck.

That is exactly what overturning Roe v Wade does. It turns jurisdiction back over to the states. :)

[Cristoforo87]

Ron Paul won't (and cannot) overturn Roe vs. Wade. Yes, he is pro-life, but as someone who abides by the Constitution, he wants to turn it over to the jurisdiction of the states.

[exavior75]

We need a candidate who acts and doesn't just talk about pro-life - The words of Jane Roe.

Vote Ron Paul.

[loki1830]

These talking heads are idiotic. I never hear such lame one liners and uneducated talk. Another example of the liberal media. Wolf the Jew hater. And who knows who the others are. Cannot wait when the Republicans win the whitehouse whoever that is.

this "news report" is ridiculous. or should i say blatant liberal propaganda? fred thompson is the only person i even considered voting for and calling him irrelevant and arrogant shows the level of ignorance on the part of the these "experts." thompson was the next ronald reagan and was shut down my the liberal media.i can count on 1 hand the amount of times i saw coverage of him or his campaign. maybe if cnn and other mediums would have done their jobs thompson would still be in the race.
