So is he still in?

He hasn't told me he's out, so that means yes.

Jim Geraghty thinks he should stay in :

I realize I've been Mr. Don't-Get-Your-Hopes-Up-Fredheads lately, but even with a mediocre performance tonight, there's no reason for Fred Thompson to leave the race. He's apparently put more effort into Louisiana than the other candidates (they vote Tuesday), and there's a bunch of deep red states he can fight in on Super Duper Tuesday, including his home state of Tennessee.

If there were a clear frontrunner, and this thing was all over, I could see it. But if he really finds some of his other rivals as not-conservatives who are unacceptable to carry the Republican mantle, why not stay in this thing until the end, collect as many delegates as he can, and at the very least, throw them to the one he finds most acceptable at the GOP convention?

And Erik Erickson at RedState wants him to stay:

I say he should stay in.

There are a lot of us who have found Fred to be our candidate because he is the consistent conservative in the race.

Huckabee is economically populist.

John McCain's major legislative efforts are named McCain-Feingold, McCain-Edwards-Kennedy, McCain-Kennedy, and McCain-Lieberman. Notice a pattern?

Mitt Romney's problem is not his flips, but his flops and his, of late, tax the rich to help the poor rhetoric.

Rudy Giuliani dresses up like a drag queen and wants taxpayer funded abortions.

So doggoneit, stay in the race, Fred. You did better in South Carolina than Rudy or Romney. Your debate performances of late have been fantastic. The crowds are growing at your forums. The money is coming in.

Stay in Fred. Some of us have no where else to go and a lot of us want at least one conservative to talk common sense.

I'm with them. Stay in Fred. You've got the money. Huckabee is not going to make it much further, and you're probably going to get over half of his support when he gets out and takes a job as Joe Scarborough's sidekick. Geraghty's right about the deep-red states on Super Tuesday. Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee have Fred's name all over them. Heck, I'll vote for you. ;)
