Don't be surprised if he endorses McCain tomorrow! He's real good friends with him. And I think McCain will be counting on it. Personally I hope he runs to smack McCain in the face. But they are best buddies so I doubt it.
Second only to David Palmer, Fred Thompson LOOKS presidential. :)
I suspect that you may be correct.
Right, again. He endorses McCain and then plans on being his VP? How's that theory?
I think McCain knows he's out. Honestly. I expect to see him drop out in the next 3-6 months. If he isn't the front runner right now, its not going to get any better for him and he knows that.
friendship doesn't equate to agreement. Pres. Reagan and Tip O'Neill got along just fine in private. Gordon Liddy also likes and respects McNut and one would be quite remiss to claim that Liddy isn't a conservative.
Look, everybody knows McCain's star is fading. He ain't going to get the nomination, no way, no how. Fred has given him a good head start, a good chance to take the flag and he hasn't done it. There's no obligation to support a loser for president even if you're friends. If that puts a strain on the friendship, who's fault is that? Only one guy gets to be president. McCain might make a good Cheney-style Veep. A pleasant semi-retirement. I like having a caretaker in there rather than a protege.
