Pat Toomey from Club for Growth answered a few questions via e-mail.
Will there be an op-ed about Thompson as they did for Giuliani?
He says: “Wouldn’t rule it out.”
Will they endorse a candidate? “Very unlikely.”
What about Thompson’s vote as a senator in favor of No Child Left Behind?
“We agree that a vote for No Child Left Behind does cut against a commitment to federalism, but we acknowledge certain aberrations in Thompson’s record and No Child Left Behind is certainly another one. However, we feel that his record demonstrates an overall commitment to federalism despite these aberrations.”
Phil and others have noted that the White Paper was generally favorable albeit with a few exceptions.
