Fred is McCain’s friend. I would excuse him for endorsing his friend. If I had a personal friend running for President, I’d endorse him, too.
As much as I support Fred, though, and will vote for him if he stays in, his endorsement means nothing to me. I don’t think endorsements mean much to most people, except maybe those of large organziations with some political clout (the NRA, for example).
If Fred’s out, I’m choosing between Mitt and Rudy. Rudy’s direct approach appeals to me, but Mitt is a little better across the board on issus. It’s a coin toss. But it won’t matter what Fred says - I can figure it out for myself and I WON’T be voting for McCain.
