That’s Patrick Ruffini suggestions:

You may hate Mike Huckabee. You may even dislike him more than John McCain. But without him winning tomorrow night, your guy’s path to victory becomes a whole lot harder.
Letting Huckabee win isn’t as dangerous as letting McCain win. Huckabee victories aren’t convertible to momentum in the same way McCain ones are (just look at the post-IA and NH bounces). He is running below his poll numbers on Intrade for a reason, and that’s because he has a hard ceiling of support. That doesn’t mean he couldn’t win in Minneapolis in a McGovern-like squeaker, but the possibility is remote.
If you’re a Romney or a Rudy guy, this is a relative no-brainer. This will be tougher for FredHeads, since their guy has made a stand in the state. But with less than 24 hours to go, and Fred running no better than a weak third, it is probably time to face facts. It’s too bad, because conservatives deserve Fred Thompson as a choice, but it just doesn’t seem to be happening.

I saw this and ignored it because it makes no sense to prolong the campaign of someone who isn’t right for the job. Giuliani and Romney may like the voters to take out two of their opponents: Thompson and McCain but that’s not in the best interest of Thompson supporters.
I’m not the only one who finds this idea repulsive, Byan posted it at Hot Air and it got over 800 comments, needless to say the Fredheads were not in agreement 🙂
Thompson supporters and conservatives should stick to their guns in SC and vote for the best man for the job. He ran on a record of constant conservative and we don’t want the press and the left to proclaim the death of the conservative movement if it’s just being pragmatic not dead.
