ABC News' Christine Byun reports: Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson says he is staying in the race.
"It's pretty clear we're going to have a ticket to the next dance," Thompson said as the audience cheered.
He thanked his wife, Jeri, who he called his "number one dance partner," and Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, for his support.
Shortly before midnight, eastern time, Thompson arrived downtown to a hotel ballroom to be with volunteers and supporters. He and his staff watched poll results and deliberated from his West Des Moines hotel before coming to make his announcement.

Why is Fred the only one being asked if he will drop out?
Because Fred is the only one that said if he didn't take 2nd place in Iowa that he would drop out. Fred didn't take second, he barely took third with 3 points between Fred, McCain and Ron Paul. And, speaking of untruths, there is no money flying into Fred's coffers. Fred is desperately trying to hold on until South Carolona. He is at 2% in NH.
Fred needs to go back to TV where it is good enough to just "act" like a conservative.
