Care to explain why you think Fred's going to endorse McCain if he hasn't already?

Because Fred and McCain and good friends...and they both have respect for each other....and because this theory has been tossed around by the MSM.

Maybe I am wrong - but there are some reasons to think it will happen.

Senators never ever say that another senator is "a liar".

That's Senatorial courtesy.

Doesn't mean they like each other.

Don’t forget that Fred was co-chairman of McCain’s run in 2000.

It has been tossed around by the MSM... and it has failed to materialize. If Fred wanted to influence the race, the time to do so would be now, before McCain drops any further in Florida.

He hasn't, though. One reason put forth is that he's reconsidered his position vis-a-vis the Vice Presidency, and wants to keep his options open. This hasn't been mentioned, but I also don't think an Attorney General, Solicitor General, or perhaps even a Supreme Court appointment is out of the question.

Since he hasn't made an endorsement by now, and has made no indication that he will make an endorsement, it's highly doubtful that he will before the nominee is clear.

In the end, your question makes no sense. It's based on pure speculation that Fred might endorse McCain, when he hasn't done so, hasn't indicated that he will do so, and has given no reasons why he might do so. How, then, are we supposed to judge whether doing so would make Fred Thompson a 'RINO'?
