He was McCains campaign adviser in 2000 and they are very good friends. He was also the CFR lawyer in the Senate when McCain was pushing his anti free speech bill..Endorsing McCain is what Id be worried about.
McCain has done a lot to hurt that relationship in eight years. In 2000, many on here were ready to support McCain. Now they are not. I doubt Thompson would either, though I do expect that he will get behind the eventual nominee as is the usual case for candidates that lose. This is assuming that he is dropping.
Stop worrying about that. 99% of Fredheads aren't going to vote for McCain. We weren't for Fred because of his stint on Law and Order, it was the issues, man. Now, why would Fredheads sign onto the McCain campaign when McCain has been on the wrong side on so many issues in the past? Answer: Easy, they won't.
Why do you guys worry about Fred endorsing McCain if Fred's support is so weak? Fred has no support according to you guys, so an endorsement for McCain wouldn't make any difference anyhow. If your candidate were any good, you wouldn't have to worry about who Fred might endorse.
