U.S. Sen. John McCain has picked up the endorsement of former actor and Sen. Fred Thompson while opponent J.D. Hayworth gets ready for an event with Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas and State Sen. Russell Pearce.
Hayworth and McCain, seeking a fifth term, are battling in the Republican Senate primary this year.
Thompson — a former senator from Tennessee and actor on the “Law & Order” television show — announced his endorsement Wednesday. McCain and Thompson both ran for president in 2008.
“I’m for John McCain. I hope he gets re-elected. I’ll help him get re-elected if I can. It’s more important for me, and I believe for the country, to have McCain’s leadership and the respect that he brings to bear on an issue. When he takes the floor on a national security matter. When he takes the floor and leads the intellectual effort the for the surge. When, without his efforts, I don’t think we would have ever had a surge and therefore we would never have had a victory in Iraq,” Thompson said.
Hayworth, Thomas and Pearce will appear together Feb. 24 in Tempe. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio also backs Hayworth over long-time foe McCain.

I support JD and already donated to his campaign, but if you all look back at my posts the last few months I warned everyone that McCain OWNS the AZ GOP machine.... this is the man who used the black book from Abramoff to blackmail Norquist and Reed into supporting his run for POTUS and pretended to have clean hands as he took $100K from the law firm representing Abramoff.... not to mention the rest of the long laundry list of his transgressions.
Just Damn.
We cannot put any weight on the endorsements of anyone. I’ve learned that lesson well from the NRC.
Not Sarah, not Fred. They have their reasons for doing what they do.
We have to support and work for the candidates WE believe in regardless of who endorses who. We don’t need endorsement validation from anyone.
I don’t know how Hayworth became the 2nd coming of Reagan for this group. Sure, he’s right on immigration, but he was wrong about some spending programs, and he had ethical “issues” although nothing serious, and he couldn’t win his own house race.
We should be looking for fresh faces not sullied by long stints in washington, not retreads. I know McCain is like a fixture in DC — but Hayworth is a flawed candidate as well.
And no, I don't agree with ol' Fred endorsing McCain, either.
They are friends...totally expected him to do this.
Are you still ignorant about McCain? What kind of nincompoop describes McCain's negatives as "a fixture in DC? Sheesh!
Savage Nation had JD on, last Fri I think. He sounded great and Mike was impressed. Some of these other talkers will stick to McCain and lose listeners. Their shtick is getting old, anywya, most of them.

Guess it’s good Fred dropped out.
Thanks for the ping!
I doubt Hunter would! I think he and Darrell Issa are for JD Haworth, they are all 3 as real conservatives as we could be lucky enough to have. Remember Hunter dropped out, then supported Huck before he would McCain. (in’08)
Ho hum! A RINO supporting a RINO, so what else is new?
At best, Hunter will remain neutral. I’ve talked to him about it. He’s good friends with JD, but Mccain has campaigned for him multiple times. So I’m guessing he will not endorse either.
Fella, show me somebody without flaws! Oh, and maybe your candidate has none?
Just opted out of receiving Fred’s newsletter. He has really disappointed me.
Is he trying to make Sarah look better maybe or kiss up to her?
I’m at a loss struggling here

The goal is 51, the number of Republican Senators needed to wrest control of the Senate away from the Democrats. Anything less is a defeat and two more years of having to be the party of NO. A Republican victory means that Obama will be the man of NO having to veto Republican legislation.
Endorsements have to figure in the probability of victory in November and apparently, most of the pols have concluded that while making every effort to win the seats they will need to take away from Democrats, that they don’t want to spend the energy and money in AZ fighting a 2006 fight that we lost and that would be brought up again in the general election by the dems.
Fred Thompson has always been rather weak on conservative principles.
Amazing how many people in this site supported Fred Thompson during the 2007 primary season.
McCain's been around long enough to know where all the bodies are buried. Let's say he remembered a little 'trist' a certain senator had with a waitress or other and put a call through as a reminder to said senator. Think he'd get an endorsement?
Not saying Juan is that kind of guy, but my instincts tell me he is. And so are a lot of D.C. pols. We only found out about John Edwards recently, and we've found out about others with quirks unbecoming senators and governors as well.
Applying the 'iceberg theory', what we've seen may only be the tip- and what is urgently needed is a housecleaning among politicians whose sexual pursuits may affect their ability to do the job free of outside influence. Voting all the bastards out works for me.
