I think he’d lose less support than he’d gain.

Fred is conservative. A moderate VP isn’t necessarily a bad idea to capture the mushy middle that like McCain’s “maverick” status.

The VP has so little power, none of which isn’t under the authority of the President, that a running mate means little outside of their ability to capture voters. McCain can capture voters that Thompson may not be able to capture.

If a true conservative cannot see the difference between McLame and Fred.....I pity the poor fool!

But a steaming turd of insanity is a poor choice for VP. I'd much rather see Romney in that role for Fred.

Thompson is also not young, and to have Thompson decide to have McCain as his final V.P. choice would probably make a majority of conservatives throughout the U.S. very nervous instead of helping Thompson.
