WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Sen. John McCain, riding a wave of primary victories and favorable polls, is seen by many Illinois Republican insiders as the front-runner in the state's presidential primary.
...
Romney's Illinois highlight was a presidential straw poll at the state fair last August, when about 1,000 people cast votes and he won with 40 percent - twice as much as the second-place finisher, Fred Thompson, who now backs McCain.

sheesh...
It’s crap, just not very pure.
I hope in the future Hailey runs. He’s awesome!
I always thought that he would endorse Mc Cain, but he hasn’t said a word since dropping out. You would think the press would be hounding him to find out his intentions, but he has gone “dark”.
I don’t care who endorses McCain...I can’t stand the guy and won’t vote for him if the Republicans are putting him up. How stupid can they be? IMO, a McCain nominee is a win for the dems.
I know this might be hard to believe, but the liberal press has an AGENDA and they might even S-T-R-E-T-C-H the truth a wee bit.
Thank God there are Fredheads like you, who are willing to see things as they are, instead of as they wish they were. I hope conservatives all over the country wake up tomorrow and come to the realization that Romney is the only hope left to defeat McCain and liberalism.
Well, if Fred backs McCain, it could be said that he was only in it to facilitate the rise of McCain.
I would lose respect for him if this is what he did. I hope not.
I haven’t read any ‘endorsement’ from Fred, but on CBS this weekend in a campaign rally shot, it sure looked like Fred there giving McCain a big hug.
Fred has been very tight lipped about who he’d support, which has surprised me somewhat since he served in the Senate with McCain. All of the other Senators are backing their buddy.
I believe Dennis Conrad isn't adverse to making crap up,
Rather than actually finding the truth.
Exactly - which is why I’d be very surprised if it were true...
Try shake down...
Those of us not blinded by Mitt’s glory are retiring for four years.
Fortunately it won’t matter on wit none of these guys save McCain can win the General and he is a long shot that would be a win win for the Dems.
All this so that “Mr. American” could make his bid followed by his smitten and enamored fans....
We are going to need him.

We all know AP is way left, but this type of oversight is too cheesy.
Why would you say a liberal is the only hope to defeat liberalism?
Fred was campaigning with McCain?
