ABC News' Christine Byun Reports: Fresh out of the recording studio and soon to hit the airwaves, Republican candidate Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., has a put together a new ad entitled "Always."
In the television spot, Thompson appears in front of an American flag and asks South Carolinians for their vote. He talks about his "conservative values" and says he is "100 percent pro-life" while touting his endorsement from an anti-abortion group.
"I'm a conservative. Always have been. Always will be," Thompson says in the ad. "I'll fight against amnesty and benefits for illegals. I'll work to keep your taxes low and keep a prosperous economy...and you can trust me to protect our security against Islamic radicals."
Thompson taped the ad yesterday in Virginia. The campaign says it will replace one of their other ads which is airing now.
According to a campaign spokesman, since last week's debate performance, Thompson's campaign has raised more than $420,000 online, which will help fund airtime for the advertisement and ground operations in South Carolina.

The story of the Tortiose and Hare.
The Steady as she goes with the willingness to finish first against the hare. As the Hare slept the Toriose was crossing the finish line.
Steady as she goes Fred, Steady as She goes.
Fred for 08!

And he finished 2nd at the Wyoming caucuses... but they weren't covered by any media outlet that I'm aware of.

Hmmmmm...... Ole Fred did clobber Giuliana and Mr. Uncommitted. I do believe SC will be hids last stand. He doesn't offer much except the traditional Rusk Limbaugh flavored narrow values.
I do believe he is one of integrity yet I think he is out of tune with the desires and needs of the people.
