Thompson Not Interested In VP Spot, Not Likely To Endorse Any Of The Remaining Candidates

The Whistler • January 23, 2008

He will not endorse, I am told by this source close to Thompson.
I am also told, “he has no interest in a vice presidency or a cabinet position.” At an “appropriate time” he will outline his plans for the near future.
This source believes that the race has demonstrated that whatever happens from here on out, the GOP has to stand for consistent conservative policies across the board.

There is no push for funds on Fred’s campaign blog, his dropping in the polls both nationally and in Florida and he isn’t planning on attending the Florida GOP debate.
I’d say it’s over, which we pretty much knew last night. It is a bit disappointing to learn that Fred won’t consider a VP spot, which would be a nice consolation prize for Fred Heads, but then again it’s also nice to know that he’s got enough principle to refrain from holding his nose and endorsing one of the something-less-than-conservative candidates left in the race.
Unlike Duncan Hunter, who I’m going to be disappointed in if he ends up endorsing Huckabee or McCain.

I believe he will not endorse, but I also believe that he would NEVER come out and say he wanted VP spot even if he did.

Baloney! We have to stand for a GOP winner! All the conservatives principles on the planet won’t accomplish a thing if there is a liberal/leftist in the White House with an expanded Dem congress to give them whatever they want! Even a ‘marginally’ better republican is better than no republican.

If Fred Thompson was the ideal – indeed only – conservative standard-bearer, then why didn’t he get out there and fight for the job? Thats how its done, thats how its always been done.

Doesn’t surprise me at all that he’s not going for a VP spot. That’d be too much hard work, and he just ain’t up for it.

Think about it. If he comes out and says he is looking for VP spot and doesn’t get it, he looks like a MAJOR LOSER.

But the non-endorsement says it all, he wants VP spot and he is waiting to see who wins.

Fred is far above the other candidates league. Hopefully he will be there to pick up the pieces next time. OR at least someone else with his good conservative values.
