Thompson is a stalking horse for his closest Senate pal, John McCain. Thompson wins a few votes in a primary and then gives them to McCain in a brokered convention. I noticed in the most recent debates in New Hampshire, he was joining McCain in a tag team to beat up Romney every chance he got. It’s pretty obvious what’s going on here.
I have yet to come to this conclusion, but I won't argue against it either. I am waiting to see, but the longer it takes to hear from his own mouth which path he is actually on makes me NOT willing to jump aboard his campaign.
