Another presidential candidate is making headlines in West Virginia.

The Republican leaders of the West Virginia State Legislature are endorsing Fred Thompson for President.

The group made the announcement Monday afternoon at the State Capitol.

Thompson is both an actor and politician. Members say Thompson is the most consistent and conservative and has a clear voting record on issues concerning pro-life and traditional marriage.

I know WV surprisingly went for GWB twice. Would they prefer their natural affinity to HRC in 2008 though?

The Second Amendment issue is very big in WV.

Why would they vote for HRC if they didn’t go for Gore or Kerry?

Most West Virginians that I know have a very conservative background. Democrats included.

Easy answer: because they want “Bill” and the only way to get him back is to vote for HRC. Some think Bill “cares” about them. Others are just waiting for the comic opera to reach a new crescendo.

This was the first debate I watched. He did appear a little nervous but this was good practice for the ones during the general election campaign. :-)
