U. S. Rep. Adam Putnam, R-Bartow, said that Sen. Fred Thompson was excellent in his debut debate Tuesday night in Dearborn, Mich. An early supporter of Thompson, the latest entry into the race for the Republican nomination for president, Putnam said the former U.S. senator scored major points.

"I thought his responses were substantive, candid and optimistic. He showed himself more than capable for the road ahead," Putnam said. "He demonstrated a command of the issues, domestic and international. He was unafraid of speaking plainly of the generational challenges we face, and discussing his approach to solving our most difficult problems."

As chairman of the Republican Conference, Putnam is the highest ranking Republican in the House to have endorsed Thompson's candidacy, so far.

Isn't Congressman Putnam the 3rd or 4th highest ranking republican member in the House of Representatives? As I recall, he's a young rising-star from Florida's agricultural district, an area Fred needs badly to carry Florida.

Why do you constantly post a picture of yourself on Fred threads?? Is that your way of saying, “I have nothing of substance to add.”?

Thanks for the oing! :)

The partial-alphabet man apparantly is running for president and has posted his campaign poster.

Be careful, Allegra may come and kick your butt for stealing her idea.

Beside, a Paul person commenting on any Conservative candidate is a bit much...
