COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom said he is endorsing Fred Thompson for the Republican presidential nomination.

Eckstrom said the former Tennessee senator shows clear leadership on social, fiscal and defense issues and is the only conservative candidate to have momentum going into Saturday's Republican primary in South Carolina.

Eckstrom says Thompson can be a leader for the nation like Gov. Mark Sanford is a leader for South Carolina.

Eckstrom is a Republican serving his second term as comptroller general.

CHECK THIS...

Rush just endorsed FRED THOMPSON for the South Carolina race!

Right after Rush finished the football segment, he popped in, out of reference or context, and read the best parts of the Human Events endorsement of Fred! He ended with asking the South Carolinians to seriously consider voting Fred Thompson if they believe in conservatism, and then went for the commercial.

I suppose Rush believes there is not enough time for liberals to attack Fred over a Rush endorsement for the election.

I will be pleased to vote for Fred tomorrow. He is the real deal when it comes to a committed conservative.

The lt. Governor, their favorite-son baseball player, Rick Flair, the wrestler, the voters.
