Fred was just on CNN with John Roberts. He said this was BS.

Yes, but it’s from The Politico. Isn’t this the one that got miffed because Thompson wouldn’t let their reporter into an interview with a local paper?

It is always worth asking the motivation of folks who write things. In this case, who benefits?
This article hurts Thompson in Iowa and helps McCain. Hmmm...
Also, no rational person would expect a Thompson endorsement of McCain to help McCain...probably 90% of Thompson supporters loath McCain, and would rather cut off their hand than vote for him.

Maybe it’s just wishful thinking on the part of the media.

I just saw Fred on CNN and said that this rumour was just a rumour and did NOT come from his campaign...
So just another attempt by the enemy to sink him.
Luckily Fred will be basically spamming the media today either on TV or the radio and will be able to at least try to set the record straight.

This has been posted, actually multiple times with some pulled duplicate threads, and has been dealt with.
It's pure speculation, made "out of whole cloth", in Fred's own words.

Fred doesn’t want it enough. Nothing wrong with that. What drives me crazy is the talk that he’ll support McLame.
McLame is a back stabbing media candidate. That’s his constituency, the MSM. He’s on their Talk shows every Sunday. He’s a Democrat’s idea of a Republican nominee.
The Party had better understand, if it’s McLame, it’s Hillary as POTUS.

A typical Politico hit piece.
Can’t have a reagan comparison.

NOOooo! Can’t they give it alittle more time? Maybe wait for a few more primaries? McCain? Yuck!
Someone is having fantasy dreams. McCainiacs maybe?
To: kjo
If Fred supports McCain, does that make Fred a RINO, too?
