Most people do not realize that Fred Thompson was elected Tennessee senator in 1994 along with a wave of other GOP reps. In his remarks, Fred gives a large part of the credit to Newt Gingrich for nationalizing the election and for following up with major legislative achievements.
It was also interesting to discover that Rick Santorum was also elected to the U.S. Senate in 1994 and served along with Fred Thompson for at least 16 years. So Fred had a chance to observe both men in Congress...And so he endorsed Newt.

Newt deserves more credit than he is given for his major accomplishments as Speaker. I am glad that Thompson remembers.
BTW, Newt will be on O'Reilly tomorrow night to talk about his gas program.

The last person Old Glue Horse endorsed didn’t do very well.
Can u say McCain? In fact, many people thought Thompson was McCain’s stalking horse.
With or without Thompson, Newt won’t carry Tennessee.

I really respect Thompson, and he had my vote last go around.
I really hope that the electorate isn’t so stupid this time around.
Newt has surrounded himself with some solid colleagues.
