What’s it going to be Senator Thompson?
Posted by: onemom on: January 22, 2008
Apparently Sen. Fred Thompson is going to be as vague about NOT running for President as he was about running. Here are some headlines and speculations:
- As the men competing for the GOP nomination head back to Florida before the state’s primary on Jan. 29, it appears that Thompson will not be going with them. After he finished well behind in Saturday’s South Carolina primary, there were indications that Thompson could drop out as early as today. His campaign has yet to announce a schedule of Florida campaign stops. (Washington Post)
- Fred Thompson sources say the actor and former Tenn senator may withdraw from the race. There are no plans to attend Thursday’s Florida debate. Staffers have been on partial pay since the NH primary. The Senator’s plans are very fluid. As of 8:45 monday evening, there were no plans for any announcement about whether he will stay in the race or not. The team is wrestling with very few options. (Fox News/Carl Cameron)
I’ll update later …

I have a funny feeling that when he does drop out, he will throw his support behind Romney.

If Thompson were to endorse anyone, it would be McCain. He just officially withdrew a few minutes ago, but it was a brief statement and no mention of endorsing anyone.

If/when Thompson drops out, who will that help?
