Senator Thompson will get into the presidential race based on: "... rumor has it that his possible candidacy is contingent on the faltering of McCain's." In the eyes of even comatose conservative Republicans, McCain faltered long ago.
Just wait until the opposition unleashes McCain's involvement in the S&L scandal of the late '80s. McCain has more baggage than any of the other Republicans currently seeking the nomination. Remember his pathetic; "Veteran Town Hall Apology for Iraq meeting" with defeated halfwit Republican Mike DeWine? His reaction to his own malfeasance is to say: "...yeah, you got me." McCain then goes hat in hand to his enemies and the media giving up more principled turf.
p>McCain is living in denial if he thinks the nomination is his. He has little real support now. Fred Thompson is
