No surprise. What’s surprising is how much Shep looks like a young Leona Helmsly in that picture.

Yes but Shep wears more makeup.

Shep is a news reader, nothing more nothing less. He is Katie Couric on Roids.

Well, in all likely it wasn’t McCain or Romney but someone in the Thompson campaign. The article in the Politico sites several advisers to the Thompson Campaign. That doesn’t mean Thompson knows anything about it or would plan to; but put the title “adviser” on anybody and they love to shoot their mouth off. They may have been just shooting off that without a solid 3rd place, whats the point in going forward.

It actually cites several Republicans "close to the Thompson campaign", whatever that means.

I just heard Fred on CNN tell Blitzer that he would have to evaluate the situation if he finished worse than third. He didn’t give a “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead” speech.

Which was a pretty funny line, but certainly not any “evidence” of anything.

A Romney operative would never be called a “source close to Thompson’s campaign”. And if the reporters were lying about the source identification, then they probably lied about even HAVING a source.

Probably not of interest, but this sort of thing would be right up the DNC’s alley. Trash everyone but the person that is sure to lose the election.

Agree, this was made up by the media, not another campaign.

Some Romney supporters on here are as sleazy as the Romney Sleaze Machine; spreading rumors and talking points.

Still no proof. Just name calling. The moderators even had to add “Unconfirmed Vanity” to the title and you still insist that we’re the ones making stuff up. Again, put up or shut up. Show some evidence. Anything at all. We’re waiting.
