Carl Cameron just interviewed Romney about Fred’s dropping out, and he (unlike the Huckster) was completely gracious, praised Romney, and when asked by Carl if he’d be thinking of Thompson as a possible VP choice if Romney won the candidacy for Prez, Romney said Fred was a great American and would be a good person to consider. (I’m paraphrasing here, as Carl was on that car phone thingy they use all the time now, and he and Romney’s conversation was breaking up. But I got the gist of it, and it was Romney praising Thompson and saying he had good ideas for consideration.
praised Romney in my post is supposed to be Romney praised Thompson (slip of the fingers and brain).
Good ideas?? Fred Thompson consistently penned more detailed plans and workable ideas than the other dwarfs put together.
That said, thanks for the report of what Mitt said. It’ll be up to Romney to earn my support at this point. And he’s got some darned big shoes to try and fill in that department. Still it was a nice gesture.
Ping to reports about Mitt rintense
Posting this again so I can correct the mistake I typed in it earlier:
