You are going to hear that Fred was promised something to endorse him, pretty soon there is going to be nothing left to promise.

I seriously doubt it. The time to trade endorsements for favors would have been before Florida, or at the very least before Super Tuesday. I think it's extremely likely that Crist won promises from McCain for his work in Florida; Giuliani probably exacted promises for endorsing before Tuesday.

All endorsements now are simply after-the-fact, close ranks around the nominee statements. Unfortunately McCain probably doesn't need anyone's help now (until November, when he may lose).

I agree. Crist and Giuliani will
be in the admin, IF McCain makes it
as (horrors) president. But then,
I wonder how Rudy would part with
all those global security contract
dollaars.
