This big issue here is does this signal some wavering of support for Thompson among the evangelical Christians. Thompson needs these people as part of the anti-Giuliani coalition. If Thompson doesn't stop Rudy, no one will and a Giuliani nomination is inevitable.
Right. And if Rooty is the GOP nominee Hillary will be our next president, count on it.
What this election comes down to is we either get Hillary or Fred as C in C of US armed forces in a time of war with Islamic fundamentalists for the survival of the free world, which one do we prefer?
