Scooter Clippard, who spent the past few months trying to get folks to open their wallet for Fred Thompson's ill-fated presidential campaign, now is dialing for dollars for John McCain.
Clippard, former national fundraising chairman for Thompson, is now national finance co-chair for McCain. The move came two days after Thompson shut down his campaign.
Says McCain, who hopes to get an endorsement from Thompson, "We are honored to have a key leader from my friend Fred Thompson's campaign. Fred made an invaluable contribution to this race and always enriched the discussion of ideas for America's future."

Look at these bozos running... they all look like crap...
Not one of them looks good except Romney. None of these bozos have ever done anything that wasnt connected with some sort of government excess.
Romney doesnt NEED the job, he can do just fine on his own in the private sector. The rest would be groveling for chump change if it wasnt for some type of government work or insider contacts with a state enterprise.
I have seen lots of convoluted, meandering definitions of conservatism, but when the rubber hits the road, who would be left standing with no worries in THE PRIVATE SECTOR based solely on their own merit???
Romney is the only one of them...
So what? I was also an indy/no party until 1992.
Reagan was a Dem.
Phil Gramm was a Dem.
I could go on for many minutes just off the top of my head.....
But back to the point of Mrs. Cheney, she was national co-chairman of the Thompson campaign and a political animal in her own right so that's a plus, particularly as a thumbs up on foreign policy know-how for Mitt.
After watching Obama last night, I fear he will be our new president. I believe he can destroy our country.
That was my thinking, actually. I would have liked Fred to stay in the race to try to push a brokered convention. If Huckabee were to drop out soon, Fred might have had a real chance of winning. But Fred's staying in would have made a McCain victory in winner-take-all Florida much more likely, and that would have been dangerous.
“Been there, done that. Got the t-shirt.”
I don’t have the t-shirt, but been there and did it too. Now have to stop McCain if I can. My vote will go to Romney only because I see him as the only choice left to stop McCain and beat Hillary or Obama. I do have a feeling the Republican nominee will be facing Obama. Hillary just may not have Florida either. The thought of Bill Clinton in the White House with nothing to do is not nice. Did enjoy hearing that comment from Romney in the last debate!
It’s wrist-splitting. I don’t read Mitt threads, don’t want a bumper sticker, don’t want Mitt for president, but there he is in my tagline.
Even if Thompson does in the end support McCain, I won’t.
You don’t and won’t win over the base, McCain.
You won’t win the national at all.
The base has not forgotten “The Gang of Fourteen” and “McCain - Feingold”.
C.R.A.M. I.T.! : Conservative Republicans Against McCain, Induct Thompson!
Aye yi yi yi yieeee
yea!!!
Jim, go check out the Texas board...Humblegunner’s trying to get Eaker to run again...
I think we can gather up enough moolah to make a batch of bumper-stickers again...hehehe
I’ll buy one...
If Fred endorses McLiberal, then it’ll expose Fred as a hypocrite and a fool.
You noticed too, eh? Looks like this. Romney is the tall clean-cut leader, with charm and poise. Giuliani is clearly Romney’s Dick Cheney, insider nasty pit bull, “what do you want done and I’ll make sure it happens”...magritte
Fred to endorse McCain?
If that happens, it will prove that the “politicians” in America are truly the despicable whores I’ve always believed them to be....
There doesn’t appear to be a LEADER in the entire Republic.
“We are honored to have a key leader from my friend Fred Thompson”
Well according to McCain everyone is a “my friend”.
McMexico and McChina...
...and McAmnesty?

Folks here like to yammer about how they want to 'teach the Republican Party a lesson' because there's not much difference between the Dems and Repubs. For Congress, regarding spending, sometimes that's true. But there is an appreciable difference in the philosophies of the parties when it comes to the use of the military, and our National Security. All our angst about social policy will be moot, if we can't protect our borders and guard against terrorism.
YOu may think that of Alan Keyes, because you agree with everything he says. To many others, he comes across and angry and very condescending, and I say that even though I like his ideas. He will not beat a Democrat in a General election, because too many people will be turned off by him.
