Since I first saw this article and saved it to post, there were two paragraphs omitted in this version of it:
from
"A day after a conciliatory speech to conservative activists, many of whom distrust him, McCain acknowledged to reporters, "I know that we have a lot of work to do to unite the party."
"He earned the backing late Friday of one prominent conservative, one-time rival and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson.
"Through his character and determination, John McCain has effectively beaten the field in the primary. It is time for Republicans to acknowledge the fact that, in Senator McCain we have a man who can win in November at a time that odds will be against us," Thompson said in a statement."
This is my link:

How did the paragraphs containing
this endorsement by Fred get left out?
wire pieces get updated , sometimes frequently, I have seen 3, 4, and 5 versions in a short period of time pop up on the wire..
