"...it now sounds like the RNC will not support Mr. Thompson,..." Why would the RNC support anyone? It doesn't and won't until a nominee is selected.
We wouldn't want an "annointment" now would we?
Ahh, but we already are being told that RINO Rudy has been anointed as the nominee for the Republicans in 08. Any support for any other candidate, declared or not, is irrelevant and futile.
