Did you know that Thompson is a great friend of McCain and supported him against President Bush?

Among potential complications in a Thompson race is that he is good friends with McCain, a current presidential candidate. Thompson endorsed McCain for president in his 2000 bid.
Baker said his wife, former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum Baker, R-Kan., already supports McCain for president and Baker said he too might back McCain if Thompson does not run.

And some quick analysis -- something for conservatives to think about:
1. Conservatives want to support a nominee who supported McCain against Bush?
2. The person, Baker, who is pushing Thompson's candidacy is a McCain supporter.
Anyone get a clue?
As I said on another thread, they want to split the Republican and conservative vote, which would be advantageous to McCain getting the Republican nomination.
A Ross Perot play inside the Republican primary.
Surely conservatives will be smarter than ending up splitting the party, to get McCain nominated, with President Hillary as a result.
Did you also hear that Dem Strategist Bob Beckel is also trying to con Republicans to get Thompson in the race by making ludicrous statements, that the Dems are afraid of him.
