“Did they, by the way? Haven’t seen much news today. But I’d be pretty darn surprised if the NRA endorsed Fred Thompson.”
I haven’t heard anything about an endorsement from the NRA. Why do you think they would not endorse Fred Thompson? I believe they will because they are likely to look at other issues along with the 2nd ammendment issue. I also wonder if they will make an endorsement during the primary.
See post 37 in this thread.
I am 99.9% certain that Fred will NOT get the NRA endorsement in the presidential primary. ESPECIALLY if they look at other issues, namely, whether he is going to win or not.
The NRA is one of the best operations out there. They aren’t going to get hitched up with a campaign that is going nowhere - especially when Huckabee (sort of a co-front runner at this stage) is fine on guns (and again, I’m not for Huckabee).
But...we shall see. If Fred somehow manages to pull of an NRA endorsement, I will congratulate him. And if he manages to survive until my state’s primary (doubtful), I’ll certainly vote for him.
