Go away, a stupid post.
He would not have declared if he wanted to support McCain. Fred Thompson disagrees with McCain.
Thompson was McCain's campaign co-chair last time McCain went for it. I would not be surprised if Thompson's strategy right now is that he is just running for vice-president...don't be shocked if it all ends with a McCain/Thompson ticket. McCain would pull in the middle-of-the-road types and Thompson wold help shore up the conservative base.
I think this also explains why Fred has been a pit bull on Huckabee but a kitty cat with McCain. It all fits.
